Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) 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 scrub the Russet potatoes. Peel them if desired, though leaving the skin on adds extra texture and flavor.

Step 3

Slice the potatoes lengthwise into evenly sized wedges, ensuring they’re roughly the same thickness for even cooking.

Step 4

Place the potato wedges into a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, dried rosemary, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 5

Toss the potato wedges thoroughly to ensure they're evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

Step 6

Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap for optimal crispness.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, flip each wedge over, and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Once baked, sprinkle the hot fries with grated Parmesan cheese for a savory, cheesy finish.

Step 9

Transfer the Italian Style Oven Fries to a serving platter, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
