Garlic Parmesan

Yummmmm!

Today's recipe pays an homage to the ever so anticipated Superbowl. I find garlic parmesan fries a staple among many of the sports centered restaurants out there... so why not make them tonight? They are super easy to make. AND it's baked.. not fried!

Ingredients:



1 medium sized potatoes (I had 2 in the picture, but I really only used 1)
4 garlic cloves
2 tbsp of parsley
5 tbsp of vegetable oil
salt
ground black pepper
Kewpie mayo
shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Cut cleaned potatoes in medium sized matchsticks and place in a large bowl.  Add 3 tbsp of the vegetable oil, some salt and pepper (mostly to taste) in to the bowl and toss until each potato stick is coated.

Line a baking sheet with foil. Place a cooling rack on top of the baking sheet and line up the potato sticks on top. Don't overcrowd when placing them on the sheet! If you crowd them, they will steam and you won't get that crunchy bite you're looking for. Bake for 20 minutes until they are golden brown.

Make sure to give enough space between fries to let each one brown evenly.

While the fries are baking, finely mince your garlic and parsley and add to a large bowl. Then add the remaining 2 tbsp of oil and mix well. Once your fries are ready and cooled off for 2 minutes, quickly toss them in the bowl with your garlic mixture. Then immediately sprinkle the 1 tbsp of kosher salt and toss evenly to coat. Put the fries back onto the baking sheet, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and let them crisp up again in the oven for another 5 minutes.

Parsley and garlic mixture.

Take it out of the oven and sprinkle freshly shaved parmesan cheese to give it extra flavor. Add kewpie to give it an even better twist!

Sprinkle some kewpie for a slighter sweeter taste to go with the garlic and salt!

See? So easy! And delicious!

Here's what I made for protein this evening... J commented that it's the best thing I ever made. Should I share?? It does have moscato in it!
