Scale

- 3 tbsps olive oil
- 3 tbsps unsalted butter
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- ⅓ cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1.5 tsps salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Ignite the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, setting the stage for crispy potato transformation.
- Seasoning Technique: Tumble potato matchsticks into a sealed plastic bag with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, shaking vigorously to create an even, flavorful coating.
- Strategic Arrangement: Distribute seasoned potato strips across the baking sheet, ensuring strategic spacing to maximize crispness and promote uniform golden browning.
- Roasting Ritual: Bake for 35-45 minutes, rotating midway through to achieve a perfect crisp exterior and tender interior, watching for golden-brown edges that promise irresistible texture.
- Garlic Butter Alchemy: Melt butter in a skillet, infusing it with minced garlic and releasing its aromatic essence, creating a fragrant base for flavor enhancement.
- Flavor Fusion: Combine hot, crispy fries with garlic butter, lavishly coating each potato strand and sprinkling with Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, additional salt, and black pepper.
- Final Flourish: Transfer the glistening fries to a serving platter, capturing every last morsel of Parmesan, garlic, and herb-infused goodness, ensuring maximum flavor delivery.
- Serving Suggestion: Present immediately while the fries are piping hot, crisp, and bursting with herbaceous, cheesy complexity that tantalizes the taste buds.
Notes
- Potato Selection: Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Idaho for the crispiest, most golden exterior and fluffy interior.
- Oil Coating Technique: Shake potatoes in a sealed bag to ensure uniform oil coverage, preventing soggy or unevenly seasoned fries.
- Baking Sheet Strategy: Use parchment paper and maintain space between potato strips to promote air circulation and achieve maximum crispness.
- Seasoning Timing: Add Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs after baking to preserve their vibrant flavor and prevent burning during high-heat roasting.
