One of our friends said that we should blog some “trendy” recipes that are popular right now in restaurants
You’re hard pressed to pick up a menu and not see Parmesan Cheese fries
Try out this baked version you can easily make yourself at home
Let’s start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees
I used unpeeled red potatoes. To save time, yeah, that’s it
Slice 4 pounds of potatoes lengthwise and then into matchsticks
That’s a lot of matchstick potatoes! Blot them dry with paper towels to remove the excess water
We want flavor stuck to these fries, not water
Divide the potatoes evenly between three sheet pans and drizzle each with 2 tablespoons olive oil. You want the fries to lay as flat as possible
Distribute the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, fresh thyme and Parmesan cheese evenly over each tray of potatoes
Pop the trays into the 400 degree oven
Bake for 30 minutes and then flip the fries over in the pan & bake about 10 minutes more or until crispy
Crispy, cheesy and oh, so tasty!
Restaurant fries in your own kitchen!
These are good enough to eat all by themselves, but you can serve them as a side to your favorite meal
We paired these cheesy fries with Grandma MeMar’s Chicken Cutlets and a side salad with Simply the Best Blue Cheese Dressing
Enjoy!
