Baked Parmesan Fries

Here’s a delicious way to make Baked Parmesan Fries for your family. Baked to a crispy outer coating that’s perfectly seasoned, these small fries are the perfect fit for hamburgers or Sloppy Joes. Baked, not fried, so they are more healthy, and delicious!

Ingredients Needed to Make Baked Parmesan Fries

Russet potatoes
Extra virgin olive oil
garlic cloves
dried thyme
seasoned salt
freshly ground black pepper
freshly grated Parmesan cheese
dried parsley
sea salt

Instructions for Making This Recipe

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. If you have the option to use convection, this is a great time to do so, to make your fries even more crunchy!

Gather your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand. Prepare your potatoes. Peel and cut into thin strips using a French Fry Cutter or a sharp knife. Mince the garlic.

Place the fries into a large mixing bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Add minced garlic, thyme, seasoned salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

Line a baking sheet with foil (shiny side up), and then spray the foil with baking spray. I’ve found that spraying the foil allows for easy release of the fries without them sticking. And using foil allows for easy clean-up afterward.

Spread the fries onto the foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, turning fries halfway through the baking process.

Return the fries to the bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese and dried parsley. If you have fresh parsley, you may use that instead–which would be really awesome. If desired, add 1-2 more tablespoons of olive oil.

Carefully stir to coat and spread once again on the foiled-lined baking sheet. Bake for another 10 minutes.

To serve, sprinkle the fries with the remaining Parmesan cheese and sea salt. This recipe will serve 4 people. I like to serve these special fries with Sloppy Joes or fancy hamburgers, like my Cowboy Ranch Burgers. (Recipe coming soon.)
