Easy Garlic Parmesan Fries are so tasty with fresh minced garlic, sweet cream butter, and salty fresh Parmesan cheese. Use frozen shoestring potatoes for extra crunch and ease. Serve this easy side dish with hamburgers, beer-battered fish, and chicken tenders.
How to make Garlic Parmesan Fries
First, cook the fries on a baking sheet according to the package instructions until crispy and golden brown. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Then add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper, cooking for 1 minute while stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese until it is melted. Serve with a side of ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
Add the cooked fries to a large bowl. Drizzle the warm garlic butter mixture over the top and toss to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
Helpful Recipe Tips
- For optimal flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan Cheese.
- As with most fries, enjoy these promptly while they are hot and crispy.
- You can substitute garlic powder for fresh minced garlic, although the fresh garlic really smells and tastes fabulous.
- Feel free to make your own homemade fries with Russet potatoes, but soak them in a large bowl of cold water for 30 minutes to draw out the starch. Then drain well and dry with paper towels or a kitchen towel. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- This recipe also works well with sweet potato fries.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or the air fryer.
