Garlic parmesan fries FAQ:
Bake the fries in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes. Flip them halfway through for even cooking until they are golden brown and crisp.
Yes, you can use different types of potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russet. Each type will provide a slightly different texture and flavor, but they all work well for fries.
Store any leftover fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven to maintain crispiness.
If you need a substitute, try using nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option, or another hard cheese like Pecorino Romano. The flavor will differ slightly but will still be tasty.
If the fries aren’t crispy after baking, ensure they are spaced out properly on the baking sheet. For extra crispiness, you can extend the baking time by a few minutes, but watch them closely to avoid burning.
Tips:
- Preheat and Parboil: For extra crispy fries, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and consider parboiling the potato slices for a few minutes before baking. This can help achieve a soft interior while keeping the exterior crispy.
- Even Slicing: Make sure to slice the potatoes evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate. Using a mandoline slicer can help achieve consistent thickness.
- Toss Well: Toss the potato slices thoroughly in olive oil and seasonings to ensure they are evenly coated. This helps in achieving uniform flavor and crispiness.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Where possible, use fresh Parmesan cheese and parsley for a more robust flavor. Fresh garlic can also be more aromatic and flavorful compared to pre-minced options.
- Flip the Fries: Halfway through baking, flip the fries to ensure they cook evenly on both sides. This can help achieve a uniform golden-brown color.
- Cooling Rack: After baking, place the fries on a cooling rack for a few minutes. This can help maintain their crispiness by allowing excess oil to drip away.
