These crispy garlic fries are double-baked for extra crunch and tossed with freshly grated Parmesan and garlic for a savory, cheesy snack that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large Russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into fries
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika or chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Cut the Russet potatoes into even ¼-inch (about 0.6 cm) sticks.
  3. Place the cut fries into a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to remove excess starch.
  4. Drain the fries and pat them completely dry with clean kitchen towels or paper towels.
  5. Toss the fries with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Add smoked paprika or chili flakes if desired.
  6. Spread the fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring space between each piece.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes on the middle rack, flipping the fries halfway through baking (around 12 minutes) for even browning.
  8. After the initial bake, sprinkle the minced garlic over the fries and toss gently to distribute.
  9. Bake for another 10 minutes until fries are golden and crispy and the garlic is fragrant but not burnt.
  10. Remove from oven and sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan and chopped parsley over the fries. Toss gently while still hot to melt the cheese slightly.

Notes

Soaking and drying the potatoes thoroughly is key to achieving crispy fries. Add garlic halfway through baking to prevent burning. Use Russet potatoes for best crispiness. For dairy-free, substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast. Avoid crowding the baking sheet to prevent soggy fries. Reheat leftovers in a hot oven to restore crispiness.
