God how I love french fries, especially the fried home made french fries. But I had to find a way to eat more of them with less of the frying. That’s how these Oven Baked Italian Fries recipe was born.
Even though these are cooked in the oven, they turn out crispy every time – and I am actually starting to enjoy them more than I did with their friend counterpart. The addition of the Parmesan cheese adds another dimension to the recipe that will keep you coming back for more.
Now I am not saying go ahead and eat 10 pounds of this stuff, but you will be able to eat them without so much of a viscous battle later on. Don’t forget to pair them with my Japanese Spicy Mayo!
