Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs russet potatoes, medium
- 6 cloves garlic cloves, peeled
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- ¾ teaspoons salt
- ⅓ cup fresh parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- 1
Set the oven to 425°F and wait until the indicator light signals it has finished preheating, about 10 minutes.
- 2
Pat each potato dry with paper towels, then place on a cutting board and cut lengthwise into thin fries about 1/4-inch thick and 3 inches long, like steak fries.
- 3
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl, pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil over them, sprinkle with 0.75 teaspoons of salt, and toss with your hands until every piece is coated.
- 4
Spread the fries in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, then scatter the 6 peeled garlic cloves over the top.
- 5
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the fries are deep golden brown and crispy at the edges.
- 6
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool for 1 minute, so the oil cools just slightly and won't cause the cheese to clump.
- 7
Pour the hot fries and roasted garlic into a serving bowl or back onto the baking sheet.
- 8
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the fries, then sprinkle the 0.33 cup grated parmesan and 3 tablespoons chopped parsley evenly over the top.
- 9
Toss gently with a spoon or tongs for about 10 seconds until the cheese, parsley, and garlic are distributed throughout.
