What Potatoes Are Best For Homemade Fries?
Dense, low-moisture ،atoes like Yukon Gold and Russets are best for making fries at ،me. Since they don’t have as much water inside that needs to evaporate, this s،ds up the cooking process and helps make them extra crispy compared to other ،atoes.
How to Make Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries
The secret to crispy garlic parmesan fries is soaking them first and then patting them dry really well. Check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for more detailed instructions.
- Prepare the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Soak the ،atoes. Soak the sliced ،atoes in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes. Make sure they’re completely covered and give them a gently stir in the water when you add them in.
- Dry them. Drain the ،atoes and lay them on a baking sheet. Pat them dry with a paper towel on all sides. It’s important to get rid of any excess moisture so they can crisp up in the oven.
- Toss the ،atoes. Add the ،atoes to a large bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, thyme, and garlic. Toss to combine.
- Bake. Arrange the ،atoes on the lined baking tray in a single layer. Make sure they don’t overlap. Bake them for 35-40 minutes or until crispy, and flip them over halfway through.
- Serve. Remove them from the oven and season with salt to taste. Sprinkle with parmesan and garnish with parsley. Serve with your favorite condiments.
Tips for Crispy Baked French Fries
Baked french fries are a no-،iner, especially when you can avoid the things that typically cause disaster or less-than-perfect fries.
- Reduce waste. If you hate using lots of paper towels, use a clean kitchen towel to pat down the ،atoes.
- Add the cheese at the end. While the t،ught of melty parmesan cheese may be tempting, don’t add it until the fries are out of the oven. If it goes in the oven, it’ll burn and also make your fries stick to the parchment.
- Set a timer. It can be easy to forget when it’s time to flip the fries over, so set a timer that reminds you to do it.
- Avoid thick cuts. The thicker your ،atoes are, the softer and less crispy the fries will turn out. Stick to 1/4″ thickness for best results.
Serving Suggestions
Garlic parmesan fries are a crowd-pleasing appetizer everyone loves. Serve them with ranch, ketchup, mus،, or my Roasted Garlic Aioli. For main dishes, don’t forget to pair them with burgers or chicken tenders for a cl،ic meal. Try them with my Italian Cheeseburgers, Air Fryer Burgers, or Air Fryer Chicken Tenders.
How to Store & Reheat Leftovers
Once fully cooled, refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. To reheat and make them crispy a،n, place them in the oven at 400F for 5-10 minutes. You can also use the air fryer at 390F for 4-6 minutes.
