Itโ€™s french fry day! Usually, Iโ€™m all about sharing quick dinners or something sweet, but not today! Today is my favorite recipe of the week, homemade french fries!

Oh how I love this recipe, these fries are just so yummy. Kind of like something you might order out, but weโ€™re enjoying them at home.

As a kid, like almost everyone, I loved french fries. I grew up enjoying my dadโ€™s oven fries on a weekly basis, then every time my family would head to our cabin in New York, weโ€™d always get dinner from the local bar in town.

Weโ€™d order parmesan fries every time. Served up alongside classic bar food like wings, nachos, chilis, Caesar salads, nachos, and of course, a few beers.

Classic bar food, but theyโ€™re the best. The french fries would come tossed with parmesan and tossed up in a creamy sauce. I drew inspiration from way back then and created my own recipe.

Of course, I think these are even better.

Details

Youโ€™ll want to start by cutting the potatoes into thin matchsticks and then baking them until crisp. The key to a crisp oven-baked fry is not to overcrowd the baking sheet. If you have too many potatoes crowding the pan, the fries will steam instead of crisp. I like to use two baking sheets to ensure the fries have plenty of room to get nice and crispy. Itโ€™s better to have extra space on the baking sheet than a pan full of soggy fries.

The second key? Toss the fries with a small amount of flour before baking. The flour sticks to the fries. Then once the fries are fully baked they have a nice crispy bite!

When the fries have finished baking, toss the hot fries with parmesan and then either fresh parsley or oregano. I love to use oregano.

While everything is baking, mix the dressing. Sometimes Iโ€™ll use the food processor, and sometimes just a jar. Either way, mix everything up until creamy.

Mayo, lemon, dijon, Worcestershire, garlic salt, peppers, and parmesan. This dressing is our favorite. Itโ€™s so addicting with the parmesan mixed in.

As soon as the fries come out of the oven, toss them with the parmesan and herbs. Then, arrange them on a serving plate and drizzle them with the dressing.

Mixing/tossing everything, while the fries are still warm, is kind of the secret. The warmth from the fries melts the cheese and creates the most wonderful garlicky flavors โ€“ both in smell and taste!

As soon as the smell hit your nose, youโ€™ll be even more excited to enjoy these very yummy fries!

So simple, but wow so scrumptious. ENJOY, these really are a favorite!
