Oven Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato French Fries Recipe Recipes

Healthy fries? You’ve got it! These garlic Parmesan potato fries taste amazing, and they are baked, not fried! Golden brown, crispy and so full of flavor, this recipe is a must-make!

Healthy fries is not an oxymoron! These BAKED garlic Parmesan potato fries are so delicious, this recipe almost seems too good to be true! You don’t have to FRY the fries to make them crispy and yummy.  In fact, I don’t even own a deep fryer – the oven can do an amazing job browning and crisping the fries if you use the right technique!

These baked fries are truly loaded with flavor.  Salt, pepper, garlic, grated Parmesan and Italian seasoning – mmmmm! Biting into one of these oven fries is like a flavor explosion! I love baking things with garlic and Parmesan – you just can’t go wrong with this combo 🙂  I have other oven baked recipes that use similar technique – check out garlic Parmesan zucchini fries, Parmesan cauliflower and Parmesan-crusted salmon.  Yes, when I find something that works so well, it’s hard not to go overboard 🙂

Ingredients

• 4 russet potatoes, peeled
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp Italian seasoning
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut a potato in half lengthwise. Then cut each half in half lengthwise (so you have potato quarters). Then cut each quarter of the potato in half lengthwise again (so you have potato eighths, which are in the shape of large fries). Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
3. Take a large piece of paper towel and blot the potato fries on all sides so they are completely dry (wet potatoes will result in soggy fries).
