Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the fries with olive oil and Chef Paddy’s Italian Table Blend until evenly coated.
- Spread the fries in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving space so they crisp up properly.

- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces like Gulden’s Spicy Brown Mustard or ranch.
Chef Paddy’s Tips
- Use Russet Potatoes: Starch-heavy russets deliver that perfect fry texture—crispy outside, fluffy inside.
- Season Immediately: Toss the fries with seasoning and cheese while still hot to lock in maximum flavor.
- Fresh Garlic Punch: Mince fresh garlic finely and gently sauté it if you want even bolder flavor—just don’t let it burn.
- Add Extra Parmesan: Be generous—Parmesan on top and then another sprinkle right before serving levels it up.
- Customize the Dip: Garlic aioli, ranch, or spicy mustard takes these fries even higher.
- Make It Your Own: Add crushed red pepper flakes for heat or a little extra parsley for a fresh finish.
Crispy, savory, and loaded with garlic-Parmesan flavor, these fries bring big game energy to any plate.
Let’s cook with heart and hustle.
