Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Scrub the potatoes under running water to remove any dirt and pat them dry.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized French fry shapes, about 1/4 inch thick. You can leave the skin on for added texture and nutrition.
- In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, dried rosemary, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Make sure the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Spread the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Avoid overcrowding the fries to ensure they bake evenly and become crispy.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the fries cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows them to crisp up even more.
- Serve the baked Rosa Maria fries as a side dish with your favorite dipping sauce or as a flavorful snack on their own.
