Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
-
Russet Potatoes: Choose firm potatoes for the best texture; they hold up well when baked or fried.
-
Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated provides the best flavor; avoid pre-grated cheese if you can.
-
Garlic Powder: A must-have for that savory kick; it blends beautifully with cheese.
-
Olive Oil: Use extra virgin olive oil for its rich flavor and healthy fats.
-
Salt and Pepper: Essential for seasoning; adjust according to your taste preference.
-
Fresh Parsley: Adds a pop of color and freshness; chop finely before sprinkling.

Let’s Make it Together
First up: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This temperature is crucial for achieving that crispy exterior we all love. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup later.
Prep Your Potatoes: Peel (if desired) and cut your Russet potatoes into thin strips. Aim for uniformity so they all cook evenly—nobody likes a soggy fry! Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with paper towels.
Add Some Flavor: In a large bowl, drizzle olive oil over the potato strips—enough to coat them but not drown them. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper generously, then toss until every fry is covered in flavorful goodness.
Cheesy Goodness Awaits: Spread your seasoned fries out on the baking sheet in a single layer; this helps them crisp up nicely. Sprinkle about half of your grated Parmesan over the top—let’s save some for later!
Bake to Perfection: Place your baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remember to flip halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness.
Add Final Touches: Once out of the oven, immediately sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top while they are hot so it melts slightly. For an extra touch of color and flavor, add chopped parsley over everything before serving.
Enjoy these delectable Parm Fries Moribyan hot out of the oven! They pair beautifully with dipping sauces like marinara or aioli but are equally delicious on their own. Whether you’re hosting friends or enjoying a cozy night in, these fries will steal the show every time!
