These big old potato wedges are what I like to call parmesan oven fries. They have all the taste, texture, and deliciousness of fried fries, but without all the mess. Kids love ’em, teens love ’em, and adults come running (just ask my friend Jyl, who I shared this recipe with over the summer).
I don’t know many people who don’t love potatoes. They’re filling, fairly inexpensive, and I can come up with a hundred delicious ways to prepare them off the top of my head. My biggest problem is choosing just one (don’t worry, I’ve included more potato recipes and options below).
Today though, we’re choosing garlic parmesan fries, because they are so easy to make and delicious to boot. The potato wedges are coated in a seasoning that includes butter, parmesan cheese, salt and garlic powder. These flavors combine to make fries that are basically irresistible. Just try and stop at one… it’s impossible!
Follow my instructions and your potatoes will be perfectly baked too. Tender on the inside and crispy on the outside is the best texture in my books! Alright, who’s ready to make a batch of parmesan fries in the oven?
Ingredients
3 medium potatoes
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted 1/2 stick
Then set up a station with melted butter in a dish, topping mixture in a dish, and your potatoes along with a baking sheet that you’re going to cook them on.
These incredibly flavored parmesan oven fries are perfect with just about anything, or on their own! When I photographed this recipe I had them with my meatloaf burgers.
Storage
If you do have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat them in the air fryer.
Recipe Notes
For the parmesan, I use that powdered kind that you find near the spaghetti sauces that aren’t refrigerated. But you can definitely use freshly shredded parmesan if you like.
For the salt, I’m using sea salt but you can use kosher salt or even regular table salt if you like, no worries.
I recommend using russet or Yukon potatoes.
Serve with a garnish of freshly chopped parsley or cilantro.
If dairy-free, you can use a dairy-free butter alternative or substitute for olive oil or coconut oil.
Adapt this oven fries recipe to make your own with different seasonings, such as:
Just use cajun seasoning.
Substitute the garlic powder for garlic herb seasoning.
Use seasoning salt instead of regular sea salt.
Add chili powder.
Add 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning to the existing ingredients.
Just use ranch seasoning.
Substitute the garlic powder for 3 cloves of minced garlic.
Recipe FAQs
What do you serve with baked garlic parmesan fries?
Absolutely! You’ll need to do smaller batches, but bake your fries in a 390-degree air fryer for 10 minutes on one side and about 5 minutes on the other.
