Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Wash and peel the russet potatoes (optional) and cut them into thin, even-sized strips to resemble French fries.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil until evenly coated.

Step 4

Sprinkle the garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Mix well to ensure all the fries are evenly seasoned.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overlapping to ensure maximum crispiness.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through to ensure even cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top. The residual heat will slightly melt the cheese.

Step 8

Transfer the fries to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and presentation.

Step 9

Serve the Italian-Style Fries while hot, with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
