Description

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.

Ingredients

• 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
• 1/2 t. black pepper

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Peel potatoes and cut lenghtwise into half-inch thick slices, cut again into 1/2-inch thick fries.
3. 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.
