Crispy Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries - Better Than Deep Fried!
Who needs fast food when you can make crispy, golden fries right at home — baked, not fried? 🧄💛
These Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries are everything you love about classic fries: crunchy on the outside, fluffy inside, and bursting with garlicky, cheesy flavor. Made with fresh potatoes, olive oil, and simple seasonings, they’re the perfect side for burgers, steak, chicken, or even on their own as a savory snack.
Baking instead of frying keeps them lighter and healthier, but don’t worry — you’ll still get that irresistible crunch.
🧺 Ingredients:
-
3 large russet potatoes (washed and cut into fries)
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
½ tsp salt
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
-
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
-
1 clove garlic, minced (optional for stronger flavor)
👩🍳 Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
Heat to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. -
Prepare the Potatoes:
Cut potatoes into ¼-inch fries. Soak in cold water for 30 minutes (this removes starch and makes them crispier). Drain and pat dry. -
Season:
In a large bowl, toss fries with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated. -
Bake:
Arrange fries in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. -
Add the Flavor:
Once baked, toss hot fries with minced garlic, parmesan cheese, and parsley. -
Serve:
Enjoy immediately with ranch, ketchup, or garlic aioli!
💡 Tips for Extra-Crispy Fries:
-
Soaking potatoes in water is key for removing excess starch.
-
Make sure fries are completely dry before baking.
-
Bake on a wire rack placed over the baking sheet for maximum airflow.
-
For extra crispiness, broil for 2 minutes at the end.
🍽️ Serving Ideas:
Pair your baked garlic parmesan fries with:
-
Grilled burgers or sandwiches
-
Oven-baked chicken wings
-
Steak or BBQ ribs
-
Or serve alone with a side of garlic dipping sauce
