Ok, I don't know that fries are ever guilt-free, but I love to eat them and every attempt I've made to give them up has failed. Sooo, if I'm going to eat fries anyway, eating these particular oven baked fries is really very healthy, right? Great! Glad we're all on the same page.
I came across the recipe a few months ago and now make these fries on the regular. They're great for a side with meat, obviously, and really tasty for a snack on their own as well.
As you can see, they're super easy to make and cheese is involved, so it's impossible to go wrong. I guess that's not entirely true, since I have overcooked them before, but seriously, it's one of the simplest recipes ever.
Oven Baked Parmesean Fries
Ingredients
5 russet potatoes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Peel potatoes and cut into half-inch thick slices (lengthwise) cut again into 1/2-inch thick fries. Place the potatoes into a pot with cold water and 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring up to a gentle boil and simmer until a paring knife tip goes through easily. Cooked about 3/4 of the way through.
Drain carefully and put in a bowl. Add olive oil, 1 tablespoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss well and lay out in 1 layer on nonstick baking sheet. Bake until light brown.
When brown, sprinkle with Parmesan and continue to bake until well-browned and crispy and the cheese is melted and caramelized, about 6 to 7 more minutes. Remove and let cool for 2 minutes. Serve.
