🧀 Cheese-Crusted Fries: The Ultimate Crispy, Cheesy Comfort Food! 🍟
🔥 Instructions
Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
Prepare the Fries: If using fresh potatoes, peel and cut them into fries. Soak them in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a towel.
Season the Fries: In a bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Bake the Fries: Spread the fries in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
Add the Cheese Crust: Sprinkle the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan evenly over the fries. Return to the oven for another 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese melts and turns beautifully golden.
Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce — like ranch, garlic mayo, or spicy ketchup! 🌶️
