Fries
Method
Preparation
- 1
Preparing the Potatoes
Begin by washing and peeling the Russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
- 2
Soaking the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
- 3
Draining and Drying
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry using paper towels. Ensure they are as dry as possible to avoid splattering when frying.
- 4
Heating the Oil
In a large, deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.
- 5
Frying the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Draining the Fries
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate. This will help absorb excess oil.
- 7
Seasoning the Fries
While the fries are still hot, immediately sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly.
- 8
Adding Parmesan and Parsley
Once seasoned, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the fries and toss gently to combine. Finally, add the chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

Serving
Serve the Parmesan French fries hot, garnished with additional Parmesan and parsley if desired. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces!
