Baked Garlic Parmesan French Fries
Ingredients
- 4 cups russet potatoes (about 4-5 potatoes, depending on size)
- 2 tbsp olive or canola oil or any cooking oil
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp salt, to taste
- 1/8 tsp black pepper, to taste
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp vegan parmesan or any vegan cheese
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 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 the potatoes, pat dry, and place in a large bowl; add 2 tbsp of olive or canola oil and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic salt, onion powder, paprika, and cornstarch; pour over the fries and toss to coat evenly.
Spread the fries evenly on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping or touching (use a second sheet if needed) and bake for about 45 minutes, flipping halfway, until desired crispiness is achieved.
Once baked, return the fries to the seasoning bowl and toss with dried parsley, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and vegan parmesan until evenly coated.
Serve with a side of ketchup, sriracha, spicy mayo, smashed avocado, or any favorite dips.
