Pro Tips for Perfect Garlic and Parmesan Fries
- Potato Prep: For the crispiest results, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes prior to baking to remove excess starch.
- Even Coating: Ensure each potato wedge is thoroughly coated with the olive oil and seasoning mix to guarantee flavor in every bite.
- Single Layer: Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overlapping can cause them to steam rather than crisp up.
- Mid-Bake Flip: Turn the fries halfway through baking to ensure they crisp evenly on all sides.
- Final Touch: Garnish with fresh parsley right after baking to add a burst of color and freshness.
