Parsley, Parmesan Cheese & Garlic Fries

Baked French Fries with Parsley, Parmesan Cheese & Garlic

I made this recipe with fresh parsley and garlic from the garden and wow, they were wonderful.  It was so yummy; I felt the need to share!  Originally it appeared in Bon Appetite Magazine and came from the kitchen of Cookin' Canuck.  Sometimes I even change it up a bit and make chips for a party tray that is always a hit!

Ingredients:

4 - 5 medium russet potatoes

3 tablespoons extra light virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

1 - 2 cloves of garlic, finely minced (one large or two small)

Parchment paper required

My Guilty Pleasure!

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Wash and peel potatoes.  Cut into 1/4-inch julienne style strips.  (See my photo above)   Dry the potatoes between paper towels.  

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil and kosher salt.  Add the potatoes and make sure they are coated well.

Divide the potatoes between two baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spreading into a single layer.

Bake until the potatoes are golden brown, about 35 - 40 minutes, turning the potatoes every 10 minutes and rotating the racks halfway through baking time.

Place the cooked potatoes in a large bowl and toss with the garlic, parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Season with additional salt if necessary.

Makes 4 servings
