Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Pat the potatoes dry and cut them lengthwise into 1/2-inch
thick slices.
3. Turn each slice flat and slice again lengthwise into even
1/2-inch thick fries.
4. Place the potatoes in a mixing bowl and add the olive oil,
seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
5. Toss well to combine, then transfer the fries to a large baking
sheet and arrange them in one even layer so that they are not touching.
6. Roast, scraping the potatoes from the baking sheet with a metal
spatula and turning them over halfway through, until golden brown
and crispy, about 30 minutes.
7. While the potatoes are cooking, combine the cheese, paprika,
garlic powder, onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small
bowl and stir to blend.
8. When the potatoes are crisp and brown, sprinkle with the
paprika-parmesan salt.
9. Serve hot.
