Preparation

Step 1

Combine first 3 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag, tossing to coat. Arrange potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 50 minutes or until potatoes are tender and golden brown, turning after 20 minutes.

Place butter and garlic in a large nonstick skillet, and cook over low heat 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add potatoes, parsley, and Parmesan cheese to pan; toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Notes:

We decided to add in the draining of the cut, unbaked fries on paper towels because our potatoes produced a lot more liquid than expected. They were almost too moist and therefore a little more in the limp McDonald’s style. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing; some people love the softer fries. Just know that if you want yours a little more crisp, you might want to drain the just-cut potatoes on some paper towels for a few minutes. Once we tossed them with the canola oil and salt, they got very wet and it wasn’t the oil.
