Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Potatoes

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into evenly sized fries for consistent cooking. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 2: Season the Fries

In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and minced garlic until evenly coated.

Step 3: Arrange on Baking Sheet

Spread fries in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Do not overcrowd—use two pans if needed for crispier results.

Step 4: Bake Until Crispy

Bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fries are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Step 5: Add Parmesan and Finish

Remove fries from oven and immediately sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and parsley. Return to oven for 3–5 minutes until cheese melts slightly. Serve hot.
