Ingredients

  • Russet potatoes 4 large (peeled and cut into fries)
  • 4 cloves of garlic (minced)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prep the Potatoes: Start by peeling the russet potatoes and cutting them into evenly-sized fries. To remove excess starch soak them in cold water for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and let it preheat.
  • Season the Fries: Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a towel. In a large mixing bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  • Bake the Fries: Arrange the fries in a single, even layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning them over halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Prepare the Garlic Butter: While the fries are baking, melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
  • Toss the Fries: Transfer them to a large bowl, once the fries are done.  Pour the garlic butter mixture over the fries and toss well to coat. If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Serve Hot: Serve your garlic fries hot, garnished with a little extra parsley if you like.
