How to Make Italian Fries

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and cut 2 lbs russet potatoes into your desired fry shape (about ½ inch thick).
  3. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  4. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  5. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon of onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
