There are some foods that just feel like they’re reserved for dining out at a restaurant, and a side of french fries is certainly one of them. Often paired with a good burger and soda, french fries are truly timeless. But who’s to say you can’t enjoy them from home too? Bring the fast food staple to you with this recipe for oven baked homemade french fries.
This side dish takes an hour or less to make and is topped with basil and Parmesan cheese.
Indeed, the secret to making good fries at home is to make sure they’re seasoned well, something every home cook should know. After soaking your peeled and sliced potatoes in cold water, drain the fries and pat them dry. Then brush them with olive oil and season them. Bake them, and once the fries are crispy, about 30 minutes, sprinkle them with Parmesan cheese and bake for an extra 20 minutes.
