Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3–4 Russet Potatoes (medium-sized)
  • 3–4 Fresh Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil (plus extra for tossing)
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, finely chopped
  • Parmesan Cheese (optional), a light sprinkle

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into uniform sticks approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick for even cooking.
  2. Soak the Fries: Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve crispier fries.
  3. Dry and Oil the Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Toss them lightly but thoroughly in olive oil to coat each piece.
  4. Bake or Fry: For baking, arrange fries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. For frying, deep-fry in hot oil until golden and crispy.
  5. Prepare the Garlic Mixture: While fries cook, mince fresh garlic and mix it with a small amount of olive oil to soften its raw sharpness and enhance flavor without overpowering.
  6. Toss Fries with Garlic and Herbs: Transfer hot, crispy fries to a large bowl and immediately toss with the garlic and olive oil mixture, chopped parsley, and salt. Add Parmesan cheese now if using.
  7. Serve Immediately: Serve the fries hot to enjoy their perfect crispiness and aromatic garlic flavor, ideal as a snack or side dish.

Notes

  • Dry potatoes thoroughly before cooking to avoid soggy fries.
  • Cut fries uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent crispiness.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor; avoid garlic powder.
  • Season fries with garlic and salt while still hot to maximize flavor absorption.
  • If baking, increase oven heat briefly at the end for extra crispiness.
