Fries
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin, uniform strips to ensure even cooking.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and will make the fries crispier.
- 3
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is essential for achieving crispy fries.
- 4
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove as much moisture as possible.
- 5
Season the Potatoes
In a large bowl, toss the dried potato strips with olive oil, salt, black pepper, rosemary, and thyme until evenly coated.
- 6
Bake the Fries
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- 7
Add Parmesan
Remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese while they are still hot. Toss gently to ensure even coverage.
