Ingredients

  • 5 russet potatoes
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Peel potatoes and cut into half-inch thick slices (lengthwise) cut again into 1/2-inch thick fries. Place the potatoes into a pot with cold water and 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring up to a gentle boil and simmer until a paring knife tip goes through easily. Cooked about 3/4 of the way through.

Drain carefully and put in a bowl. Add olive oil, 1 tablespoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss well and lay out in 1 layer on nonstick baking sheet. Bake until light brown.

When brown, sprinkle with Parmesan and continue to bake until well-browned and crispy and the cheese is melted and caramelized, about 6 to 7 more minutes. Remove and let cool for 2 minutes. Serve.

    Yummy

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    The first time I made this recipe, as other reviewers had, I boiled the potatoes to long and they were falling apart in the... oven prior to browning. I put them under the broiler and browned them. The second time was the winner, I only boiled them on a low boil (as directed) around 4 minutes. I baked the potatoes in a pre-heated convection oven at 400 degrees. I do not time things when I cook but within 15 minutes I flipped the potatoes over as the bottoms were browned. Unfortunately they browned really fast on the flip side and I burned some of them. This probably would not have happened if I would have cut my potatoes the same size. The ones I did not burn were excellent and I will make this again but maybe use the convection oven at a lower temp or watch the clock/oven. As another reviewer stated the type of potatoe you use makes a difference and the russetts worked perfect for me. Even though all ovens are little different I would cook at a higher temp than called for. The convection speeded up the process and they were done baking in about 20 - 25 minutes. This recipe has recieved some bad reviews but it really could be the direct cause of user error.Read more

    awesome!

    These fries were tasty and beautiful! I read the reviews and cooked the fries at 450 instead of 400. Also, like others, I... found that they still needed a bit longer to cook. Amazing!Read more

    Great for adults and kids alike

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This recipe is a great alternative to our usual roasted red potatoes and to traditional french fries. Great flavor, fresh... ingredients and although it's a few steps, easy to make. Everyone at the table will be looking for seconds.Read more

    Wonderful flavor!!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I was so excited to try a healthy way to make fries. The fries took longer to cook. I never did get them to trun brown. But,... everyone loved the texture and flavor. I will make them again. Finish them up in the broiler. When mine came out of the oven they did not look like Micheal's.Read more

    Took a long time

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    I LOVE Michael's recipes but struggled with this one. The lack of approximate cooking times made it hard. I boiled them... correctly but they were in the oven for 45 minutes. We had to start dinner without them and in the end I had to put them under the broiler to get them browned. I will try again, but next time follow some of the other recommendations.Read more
