Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Peel potatoes and cut lenghtwise into half-inch thick slices, cut again into 1/2-inch thick fries.
Place potatoes into a pot with cold water and 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer until a paring knife tip goes through easily, cooked about 3/4 of the way through.
Drain carefully, then put in a bowl. Add olive oil, 1 tablespoon salt, and the black pepper. Toss and lay out in a single layer on a non-stick baking sheet. Bake until a light brown about 12-15 minutes.
When brown, turn fries over and then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and continue to bake until well-browned and crispy and the cheese is melted and caramelized, about 10-15 more minutes.
Remove, sprinkle on a little more cheese, and let cool for 2 minutes.
6-8 servings.
