🌟 Why These Fries Are Better Than Ordinary

We’ve all had soggy baked fries.

Or ones where the seasoning slides right off.

Not these.

Here’s what makes them special:

✅ Freshly grated Parmesan melts and crisps into a golden armor around each fry

✅ Smart slicing = max crispiness (uniform thickness is key!)

✅ Oven or air fryer friendly = no oil bath needed

✅ Loaded with garlic, herbs, and umami —no boring bites here

✅ Naturally gluten-free & vegetarian —and nobody will miss a thing

Science loves them too:

The high heat caramelizes the edges while the Parmesan forms a lacy, crunchy shell—thanks to the Maillard reaction (aka flavor magic).

🛒 What You’ll Need: Pantry Staples, Gourmet Results

Grab these cozy ingredients—you probably already have most:

4 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes (Yukon = creamier; russet = crispier)

3 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil for higher smoke point)

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (pre-shredded won’t melt the same!)

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika (smoked paprika = next-level depth)

1 tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning blend)

Salt & black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for that bright finish)
