Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper for flavor

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash the baking potatoes thoroughly, peel if preferred, and cut into even-sized fries, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
  2. Step 2: Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.
  3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried fries, egg white, kosher salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Step 4: Spread the fries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring enough space between each fry.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  6. Step 6: Once golden brown and crispy, remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Soak the fries to ensure crispiness.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet for best results.
  • Feel free to experiment with seasonings for different flavors.
