Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2.5 pounds (1.13 kilograms) russet potatoes, peeled and cut into matchsticks
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- ⅓ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Cooking Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and heat the oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C), creating the perfect environment for crispy potato magic.
- Transform matchstick potatoes into a flavor canvas by tumbling them into a plastic bag with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, then shake vigorously to ensure each potato strand is generously dressed.
- Carefully arrange the seasoned potato strips on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them strategically to guarantee maximum crispness and even browning.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 35-45 minutes, rotating the fries midway to achieve golden, crunchy perfection.
- While potatoes transform, craft a fragrant garlic butter by melting butter in a skillet and gently sautéing minced garlic until it releases its aromatic essence.
- Create a flavor explosion by combining the hot, crispy fries with the garlic butter, sprinkling generously with Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, additional salt, and black pepper.
- Toss the ingredients with enthusiasm, ensuring every potato strand is lavishly coated in the savory mixture.
- Transfer the glistening fries to a serving platter, capturing every last morsel of Parmesan, garlic, and herb goodness from the mixing bowl.
- Serve immediately while the fries are piping hot, crisp, and bursting with herbaceous, cheesy flavor.
Notes
- Prep ahead by cutting potatoes into uniform matchsticks for even cooking and crispy texture.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure fries bake without burning or tearing.
- Space fries individually on baking sheet to guarantee maximum crispiness and golden-brown edges.
- Flip fries midway through baking to achieve balanced, crunchy exterior on all sides.
- Sauté garlic briefly to release aromatic flavors without burning, creating a rich butter coating.
- Toss fries immediately in garlic butter and Parmesan to lock in warmth and maximize flavor absorption.
