Parmesan Baked Fantastic Fries!

Ugh! Deciding what to have for dinner is hard! I knew I really wanted a form of potatoes. But unfortunately, I didn't have the right ingredients for the awesome recipes I found on Pinterest, so I browsed some fry recipes on a whim and then decided to just wing it.
Can I just tell you how amazing they turned out?? I wish I had a better camera, because these iPad pictures do not do them justice. They are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and delicious all over. They took minimal time, minimal effort, and has maximum results 😀
Okay, preheat your oven to 400F. First rinse your potatoes in cold water and then peel (or don't peel based on your preference) your potatoes. I'm an idiot and sliced the the potatoes in half which gave me smaller fries. If you want longer ones, slice long way. Try to keep your slices even in width.
I obviously didn't do a good job keeping them even.

Next I threw them in a large bowl and poured over just enough olive oil to cover them and then added the Basics, SPGO (salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder) and some Parm cheese. 
Ok, so my bowl might be a "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" container.

Spread them out on a baking sheet, and make sure they're not touching. I lined my pan with foil, but the Pinterest consensus seems to be parchment paper. It didn't make a difference with my recipe. Season with a bit more salt, pepper, and Parm. Place in oven for 15 minutes.

Take out, flip over. You can use a spatula, but it was easier to slide them up with one, and then flip them individually with a fork. Sprinkle with the s/p and Parm and place in oven for another 5-7 min based on crisp preference. Take out and let cool for a few moments.
Ta daaaaa! There you have it. 30 minutes to fantastic fries!!
 


Recipe:
