Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Oven & Potatoes
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Peel potatoes (optional for rustic skin-on fries) and slice into 1 cm (0.4-inch) thick sticks. Pat dry with a towel for extra crispiness.
2. Season & Coat
In a large bowl, toss potato sticks with mayonnaise, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. The mayo helps the Parmesan stick!
Add grated Parmesan and toss again. For a flavor boost, mix in a pinch of paprika or garlic powder.
3. Bake to Perfection
Arrange fries in a single layer on the tray, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
4. Serve & Enjoy!
Let cool slightly, then serve immediately. Pair with aioli, ketchup, or ranch for dipping.
Pro Tips
