Oven Baked Cheese Fries

These are Southern style crispy oven baked cheese fries just like Grandma used to make. We've skipped the cast iron skillet and oil, and opted for a sheet pan and high heat, but kept all that melted cheese topping!

Ingredients

  • 6 medium russet potatoes scrubbed with the skin left on and any bad parts removed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 3/4 cup your favorite grated cheese we prefer a sharp cheddar but Parmesan would also work really well
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • Cut potatoes into wedges and put the cut wedges into a large bowl.
  • Add the olive oil, bread crumbs, grated cheese, and seasonings to the bowl with the potatoes.
  • Gently toss everything together until all wedges are evenly coated.
  • Lay the prepped potatoes out onto a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil (dull side up), parchment paper, or a silpat.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
  • Cool for a few minutes before serving.
