Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries

RECIPE :

Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced very fine 
• 2 tablespoons olive oil 
• 2 large (russet) baking potatoes, 12 ounces each or 1½ pounds total 
• Salt and pepper, to taste 
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese 
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat it with cooking spray.
2. Cut the potatoes lengthwise in half and then in half again. Slice each piece into ¼-½ inch thick strips. Place the potato strips on the prepared baking sheet and toss them with olive oil and garlic. Use your hands to evenly coat the potatoes. Spread them out evenly over the entire pan. Season with a little salt and black pepper. Bake uncovered in the center of the oven until tender crisp and golden brown, approximately 20-25 minutes on each side. Keep in mind that baking time may vary depending on the thickness of your pieces and your oven. Set your timer for 20 minutes and check.
3. Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle Parmesan cheese and a little garlic powder all over. Add a touch more salt and pepper if desired.
