#### How to Make Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries

1. **Preheat and prep:** Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. **Cut the potatoes:** Slice into evenly sized fries — about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick for that classic fry shape.
3. **Soak for crispiness:** Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes (or longer if you have time). This helps remove excess starch and leads to crispier fries.
4. **Dry and season:** Pat the fries dry with a clean towel. Toss with olive oil, minced garlic or garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
5. **Bake:** Spread the fries in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
6. **Add the Parmesan:** As soon as they come out of the oven, toss the hot fries with grated Parmesan and any optional herbs.
7. **Serve hot:** Pair with your favorite dipping sauce — ranch, garlic aioli, or even marinara!

#### Tips for Fry Perfection

* Don’t skip soaking the potatoes — it really helps with crispiness.
* Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
* For extra crunch, finish the fries under the broiler for the last 2–3 minutes.
* Want more garlic punch? Roast a head of garlic and mash it into the oil before tossing the fries.
