Instructions

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• In a large bowl combine 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon dried basil, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
• Scrub the 4 medium red potatoes and pat dry. Cut each potato into 1/4-inch sticks.
• Add the potato sticks to the bowl with the cheese and seasoning mixture and toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
• Coat a large cookie sheet or jelly-roll pan with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the coated potato sticks in a single layer on the prepared pan, avoiding overlap.
• Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes.
• Use a spatula or tongs to turn the fries so they brown evenly, then return the pan to the oven and bake an additional 20 minutes or until the fries are crisp and tender.
• Remove from the oven and let rest a minute or two before serving.
