Ingredients

6 Russet potatoes

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.   Place baking sheet in the oven to preheat.  

Cut potatoes in half length wise.  Cut each half in half again.  Then cut into strips to make french fries.  In a bowl mix olive oil, garlic powder, and salt.  Toss potatoes in the oil mixture until well coated.  Remove baking sheet from the oven & immediately put potatoes on the baking sheet.  Return to oven & bake for 15 minutes. Flip fries over & continue to bake for another 15-25 minutes until potatoes are cooked through and crispy.  During the last 5 minutes of cooking sprinkle the fries with Parmesan cheese.  Remove from oven & sprinkle with more salt if desired.  Serve immediately.
