Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Peel and cut the potatoes into thin, even fries to ensure they cook evenly.
- Soak the fries in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes them crispier.
- Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- In a large bowl, toss the fries with the olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Spread the fries in a single layer on a large baking sheet. For best results, line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crisp.
- While the fries are baking, heat a small skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and dried thyme, stirring continuously for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Once the fries are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl.
- Sprinkle the garlic and thyme mixture over the hot fries.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the fries are well-coated.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
- Enjoy your garlic Parmesan fries immediately while they're hot and crisp. They make a perfect side dish or snack!
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.
By following these simple steps and using fresh ingredients, you'll have a batch of perfectly seasoned, crispy Garlic Parmesan Fries that are both tasty and satisfying. Experiment with different herbs and spices to find your perfect combination, and enjoy these fries as a delightful addition to your meals.
