How to Make Basil Fries

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
  3. Cut 2 pounds of russet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick sticks.
  4. Add the potato sticks to the cheese mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Lightly grease a 15 x 10-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  6. Spread the potato sticks in a single layer in the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven and gently turn the fries.
  9. Bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown, crispy, and cooked through.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
