French fried potatoes are so good, but not so good for you. Try these baked fries instead. They are absolutely delicious and brown and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

5 russet potatoes
1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 c. grated Parmesan, plus a little more for garnish
2 T. salt, divided

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.
