Ingredients
  

For the Fries:
  • 2 pounds Fingerling Potatoes washed
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Melted Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Salt divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
  • 10 turns McCormick Italian Blend Herb Grinder
  • 3/4 cup Freshly Finely Grated Parmesan Cheese divided
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley finely chopped

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Grater
  • Spatula

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is crucial for achieving crispy fries.
  2. Step 2: Wash the fingerling potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel. If they are large, you can cut them in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
  3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the washed fingerling potatoes, olive oil, melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, garlic powder, pepper, and the Italian herb blend. Toss until all the potatoes are evenly coated.
  4. Step 4: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Make sure they have enough space to roast properly and achieve that desired crispiness.
  5. Step 5: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  6. Step 6: After 25 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the finely grated Parmesan cheese over the hot fries, then return them to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Step 7: Once the fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the top. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, make sure to dry the potatoes thoroughly after washing.
  • Feel free to experiment with different herbs for varied flavor.
  • These fries can be frozen uncooked for up to a month.
