Recipe Title: Crispy Garlic and Parmesan Baked Fries
Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes, cut into fries
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure the fries bake crispy and golden.
- Toss the Fries: In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until the fries are evenly coated. The olive oil helps the fries crisp up, while the garlic infuses them with flavor.
- Spread on Baking Sheet: Arrange the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded so they can bake evenly and become crispy.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning the fries halfway through the cooking time. This ensures that they cook evenly and become golden and crispy on all sides.
- Add Parmesan and Parsley: Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle them with grated Parmesan and chopped parsley. The heat from the fries will help the Parmesan melt slightly, adding a rich, savory flavor.
- Serve Hot: Serve the Garlic and Parmesan Fries immediately, enjoying them while they are fresh and hot.
