Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 | Baking potatoes |
| 4 | Garlic cloves |
| 3/4 | Cup salt |
| 2 | Tablespoons butter |
| 2 | Tablespoons parsley |
| 8 | Tablespoons parmesan cheese |
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
-
Prepare Potatoes: Wash and scrub the baking potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into fries or wedges, depending on your preference.
-
Season Potatoes: In a zip-top plastic bag, combine the salt and baking potatoes. Seal the bag and toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the salt.
-
Bake Potatoes: Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet that has been coated with cooking spray. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake Time: Bake the potatoes at 400°F for approximately 50 minutes or until they are tender and golden brown, remembering to turn them halfway through the baking process to ensure even cooking.
-
Prepare Garlic Butter: While the potatoes are baking, prepare the garlic butter. Mince the garlic cloves finely.
-
Cook Garlic: In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook it gently for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. This process infuses the butter with the rich flavor of garlic.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the potatoes are baked to perfection, add them to the skillet with the garlic butter. Sprinkle parsley and parmesan cheese over the potatoes.
-
Toss and Coat: Using a spatula or tongs, gently toss the potatoes in the skillet, ensuring that they are evenly coated with the garlic butter, parsley, and parmesan cheese mixture.
-
Serve: Transfer the garlic fries to a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with additional parsley and parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the deliciousness!
