French fries are a dish made from pieces of potato fried
in hot cooking oil. In the menu of the houses, the fries are cut in
length and fried in a submerged state in the hot cooking oil.
Ingredients :
1 tablespoon garlic, minced very fine
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large (russet) baking potatoes, 12 ounces each or 1½ pounds total
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
Directions :
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line 1 baking sheet with foil and coat baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Cut the potatoes lengthwise in half and in half again. Cut each
piece into ¼-½ inch thick strips. Place on the baking sheet and toss
with the olive oil and garlic. Use your hands to evenly coat. Spread the
potatoes evenly over the entire pan. Season with a little salt and
black pepper. Bake uncovered in the center of the oven until tender
crisp and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes on each side. Baking time
will vary depending on how thick your pieces are and your oven. Set your
timer for 20 minutes and check.
3. Remove from oven and sprinkle
all over with Parmesan cheese and a little garlic powder. Add a little
more salt and pepper, if desired.
Makes 5 servings. Each serving about 1⅓ cups. (Makes 6 cups total)
