What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Foodstuff Redefined: Yummy Spud Fries! Choose a healthier way to have your fries and eat them, too. Take regular potatoes, preferably russet, cut them into thick strips leaving the skin on, and bake until crispy before adding a mound of toppings. I use both grated and shaved Parmesan cheese. You’ll know perfection when the outside is a lovely sunset golden color. One bite reveals a fluffy potato within. Now dunk them in sour cream and chives or slather on thick tomato ketchup. Mmmmm.
YUMMY SPUD FRIES
Ingredients:
4 russet potatoes, washed and cut into thick strips
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved
Garnish with bacon crumbles
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425°. Put potato strips in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat. Season with garlic powder, thyme, and seasoned salt. Coat well. Transfer potatoes to a nonstick baking sheet. Spread into a single layer. Reserve oil in bowl. Bake 15 minutes. Turn potatoes and bake 15 minutes longer. Transfer potatoes back into the bowl with reserved olive oil. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Coat well. Layer fries onto baking sheet. Return to oven for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Before serving sprinkle spud fries with shaved Parmesan cheese and bacon crumbles. Serve immediately.
Sounds so good and lovely! I think it’s “grate” that you used the cheese two ways – I’m stealing that idea – and making these as well! 🙂
