 Ingredients You’ll Need

 Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and crispier fries.

2. Prep the Potatoes

Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even matchsticks, about ¼-inch thick, to ensure uniform cooking.

3. Toss with Olive Oil & Garlic

In a large mixing bowl, toss the fries with olive oil until well coated. Add the minced garlic and stir to evenly distribute that garlicky goodness.

4. Spread & Bake

Arrange the fries in a single layer on the baking sheet—avoid overlapping. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

5. Add the Finishing Touches

While the fries are still hot, return them to the bowl. Toss with Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Give them a gentle mix to coat every fry in flavor.

6. Serve & Enjoy!

Serve immediately for the best texture and taste. These fries pair beautifully with garlic aioli, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.

 Pro Tips for Perfect Fries

• Use Russet potatoes: Their starchy texture is ideal for crispy baked fries.

• Dry the potatoes after cutting for even better crisping—excess moisture can lead to soggy fries.

• Flip once halfway during baking to get even browning on all sides.

• Fresh garlic tip: Add garlic in the last 10 minutes of baking if you prefer it slightly toasted and less sharp.

 Serving Ideas

These fries are perfect on their own but can also elevate your meal as a delicious side dish. Serve them alongside:

• Grilled burgers or sliders

• Baked chicken tenders

• A hearty veggie or turkey sandwich
