Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large russet potatoes, cut into thin fries
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings and Spices:
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
Oils and Garnish:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Thoroughly cleanse russet potatoes, then slice into uniform, slender strips ensuring consistent thickness for even roasting.
- Submerge potato strips in ice-cold water for a minimum of half an hour, allowing excess starch to dissolve, which guarantees maximum crispiness.
- Drain potato strips completely, then meticulously pat dry using clean kitchen towels or paper towels to eliminate all moisture.
- Drizzle olive oil over potato strips, then incorporate minced garlic, crushed dried oregano, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper, massaging seasoning uniformly across each strip.
- Position oven rack in center position and heat to 425F (220C), preparing a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or light cooking spray.
- Arrange seasoned potato strips in a singular, uncrowded layer, ensuring minimal contact between pieces to promote optimal caramelization and crunchiness.
- Roast potato strips for approximately 25-30 minutes, rotating sheet midway through cooking process to achieve golden-brown exterior and tender interior.
- Immediately after removing from oven, generously dust fries with grated Parmesan cheese, gently tossing to create an even, savory coating.
- Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley for vibrant color and additional flavor complexity.
- Serve piping hot alongside preferred dipping sauce, such as garlic aioli or spicy marinara.
Notes
- Soak potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, ensuring ultra-crispy fries with perfect golden exterior.
- Pat fries completely dry before seasoning to prevent steaming and achieve maximum crunchiness in the oven.
- Spread fries in single layer without overcrowding to allow proper air circulation and even browning.
- Adjust seasoning for dietary needs by using vegan Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast for dairy-free version.
