How to Make Oven Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries – Step by Step Photos
Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Wash two russet potatoes and cut them into ½-inch wide “fries.”
Place the cut fries in a large bowl and add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked pepper, and 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan. Toss the fries until they’re evenly coated in oil and seasoning.
