Oven-Baked Parmesan French Fries
Delicious and crispy Parmesan French fries.
Equipment
- Sheet pan 9x13
- 1 Large bowl
- 1 Bowl or Airtight Container for Flour Mixture
Ingredients
- 5 Russet potatoes
- ½ cup Flour
- ½ cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- Cooking spray
Optional Seasonings
- Garlic powder, Italian seasoning, Ranch seasoning, Onion powder, etc.
Instructions
Prep Work
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into long, thin strips.
Soak and Process Potatoes
- Soak your cut up potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes. This will help to remove the starches and crisp up your fries.
- While the potatoes are soaking, make the Parmesan and flour mixture and put it in a bowl with a lid. Add any additional seasonings to your flour mixture.
- Remove the potatoes from the cold water and pat dry with a paper towel, but still leave moist so the flour mixture will stick to the potatoes.
- Take your potatoes and place them into the flour Parmesan mixture. Place the lid on tight and shake the potatoes until they are all covered.
Bake Fries
- Cover a cookie sheet with tin foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Place the potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. The fries should be golden brown and crispy. If you want them to be more crispy, you can broil fries for 1-2 minutes.
- You can also cook these in an air fryer for 20 minutes on 400 degrees.
Notes
Substitutes and Additions
- Swap out your Russet potatoes for other potatoes you may have on hand - red, yellow or even sweet potato
- Add different seasonings to your flour mixture to alter the taste. Adding garlic powder or garlic salt is a delicious alternative. You can use cinnamon with sweet potato fries.
