Baked Garlic Parmesan French Fries
Ingredients
- 4 cups russet potatoes (about 4-5 potatoes, depending on size)
- 2 tbsp olive or canola oil (any cooking oil you have on hand should work)
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp salt (more or less to taste)
- 1/8 tsp black pepper (more or less to taste)
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp vegan parmesan (can sub for vegan mozzarella or any vegan cheese you have on hand)
Preparation
Peel and slice the potatoes into long, 1/2 to 1 inch thick slices or desired fry shape.
Place the peeled and sliced potatoes in a strainer and run under cold water for at least 30 seconds.
Soak the potatoes in cold water for 1-3 hours (optional but recommended for crispier fries; can be limited or skipped if short on time).
Preheat oven to 425°F and prepare a large baking sheet by coating with oil or lining with parchment paper.
After soaking, strain and pat dry the potatoes, then place in a large bowl and add 2 tbsp of olive or canola oil, tossing to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic salt, onion powder, paprika, and cornstarch, then pour over the fries and toss to coat evenly.
Spread the fries evenly on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping or touching, and bake for about 45 minutes, flipping halfway, until desired crispiness is achieved.
Once the fries are finished baking, place them back in the bowl and toss with dried parsley, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and vegan parmesan until evenly coated.
Serving suggestions
Serve with a side of ketchup, sriracha, spicy mayo, smashed avocado, or any favorite dips.
