Super Crispy Cheesy Fries are a delicious, indulgent treat featuring perfectly crispy fries topped with gooey melted cheese. Here’s how you can make them at home:
Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese of your choice like mozzarella or Monterey Jack)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
- Freshly chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)
- Sour cream or ranch dressing (optional, for dipping)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly, scrubbing away any dirt. Leave the skins on for extra texture and flavor.
- Cut the potatoes into thin, even fries (about 1/4-inch thick). The thinner the fries, the crispier they will be.
2. Soak the Potatoes (Optional for extra crispiness):
- Soak the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, leading to crispier fries.
- After soaking, pat the fries dry with a paper towel to remove as much moisture as possible.
3. Season and Coat the Fries:
- Place the dried fries on a large baking sheet.
- Drizzle the fries with olive oil, then toss them to coat evenly.
- Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using), and toss again to ensure even seasoning.
4. Bake the Fries:
