I came across the recipe for these fries from London at Evolving Table last Summer and it was life-changing. These are some of the best fries that I have ever had. Ever. Did you catch that? Not made, personally, but had. Like as in “have ever eaten.” That’s saying a lot because I loooooove potatoes. Maybe that’s the Irish in me. But, seriously, you must give these Crispy Baked Parmesan Garlic Fries a try.

I made a few small changes to the recipe… the most important being the cooking time. I had to cook my fries an extra 10-15 minutes to get the crispy crunch that I like in a fry. Baking them for these few extra minutes will give you that crispiness that you want with fries. I promise you that you won’t even miss the “fried” part of fries.

Let me show you how I made these Crispy Baked Parmesan Garlic Fries 👇🏻

Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large plastic bag, combine the 2 1/2 lbs of peeled, matchstick-sliced potatoes, 3 tbsp of olive oil, 1 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp of pepper. Toss the fries around in the bag until they are well coated.

Now lay the fries onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, giving them as much space as will allow. The fries need room to breathe in order to crisp up.

Bake for 35-45 minutes, flipping halfway through until they reach your desired crispness. For me, that was right around 45 minutes.

When the fries have about 5 more minutes to cook, add 3 tbsp of unsalted butter to a skillet and melt. Add 4 minced garlic cloves to the butter and stir constantly, cooking the garlic until it is soft and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the fries, garlic butter, 1/3 cup of chopped fresh parsley, 1 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp of pepper.

Toss the fries until they are well coated. Then pour the fries onto a platter and top them with any garlic, parsley, parmesan that is left behind.

Enjoy!

In a large plastic bag, combine the matchstick potatoes, olive oil, 1 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp of pepper. Shake well to coat the fries.
