Happy Mother’s Day! If the weather is nice enough in your area, treat your mom with a delicious BBQ dinner. These Parmesan Oven fries will be the perfect compliment. I love a good french fry. However, they are a guilty pleasure when deep fried…so I wanted to try to master the art of a crispy fry without the fryer. When I saw the idea to double-bake potatoes I knew that is exactly what I’ve been looking for. You originally saw these with my Mouth Watering Reuben Burgers (if you didn’t see that burger, you MUST run over and see it!). But wait. Salt and fries go together like peanut butter and jelly. Parmesan? Now that’s my secret ingredient! I love parmesan cheese! I amped these fries up with a touch of parmesan and the perfect french fry was born.
Because grilling and BBQ season is upon us, you’ll want to keep this recipe handy. These are the perfect side dish to any hamburger. If you missed burger week last week, pop over and see these fantastic burgers: my Queso Blanco Cinco de Mayo Burger, Mouth Watering Tasty Reuben Burger, Guacamole Bacon Burger, delicious Sautéed Mushroom & Swiss Burger with Caramelized Onions and lastly Homemade Black Bean Veggie Burger! Stay tuned, because I’ve got another fantastic fry recipe coming at you next week!

If I substituted sweet potatoes, but followed the same process, would the sweet potatoes be extra crispy? I did see your sweet potato fries recipe. I am looking for a crispy baked version. Thanks!

I love baked fried but have never ever been able to get them crisp! Double baking is GENIUS!
Yvonne
It seriously works like a charm! Having them on the cooling rack also helps keep the fries circulated!

These look to die for! I have never heard of double baked; this sounds so great. Betcha it would work good with sweet potatoes too.
