How to Make Italian Fries
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and cut 2 lbs russet potatoes into your desired fry shape (about ½ inch thick).
- Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- 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.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
