Skinny Garlic Parmesan Fries
Description
Skinny Garlic Parmesan Fries feature thinly sliced potatoes coated with a mixture of olive oil and crushed garlic, then baked until they achieve a tender yet crisp texture. The fries are seasoned simply with salt and pepper, then finished with fresh grated Parmesan and minced parsley for a savory and slightly herbal topping. Baking on a single layer ensures even cooking and golden edges without deep frying.
The garlic imparts a subtle aroma and taste that is balanced by the rich, nutty Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. The parsley adds a touch of freshness and color to the dish. This preparation results in fries that are flavorful without being heavy, making them suitable as an accompaniment to a main dish or enjoyed as a snack.
To ensure the fries bake evenly and become crisp, it is important to cut the potatoes uniformly and turn them halfway through baking. Using cooking spray on the baking sheet prevents sticking and aids in crisping the fries. Serving them hot preserves their texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic (crushed well)
- canola oil cooking spray
- 1 medium (6 oz potato, russet or yukon gold, washed and dried)
- kosher salt to taste

- 2 teaspoons Parmesan Cheese I used Reggiano, fresh grated
- parsley minced, fresh
Instructions
- Combine the oil and crushed garlic in a small bowl.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Cut the potato lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices; cut each slice into 1/4-inch thick strips. Place on the baking sheet and toss with the oil and garlic and use your hands to evenly coat. Season with salt and black pepper. Place on a single layer onto the greased baking sheet. Bake uncovered in the center of the oven until tender crisp and golden brown, about 10 minutes on each side. Baking time will vary depending on your baking sheet and your oven.
