Ingredients Ingredient Checklist 6 or 7 Idaho potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/3-inch-thick French fry-style strips, soaked in cold water 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs or some combo of dried oregano, thyme, marjoram, and basil 2 cups freshly grated Romano cheese 1/4 cup parsley leaves, finely chopped 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter, cut into 6 cubes Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cook’s Notes Potato Prep: For a French-fry cut, peel the potatoes and slice lengthwise into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Stack the slices on top of one another, a few at a time, and slice lengthwise into 1/3-inch-thick strips. Peeled and sliced potatoes can turn brown pretty quickly. To avoid this, try floating the peeled, cut pieces in cold, salted water. When you’re ready to cook, drain them and pat dry.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 6 or 7 Idaho potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/3-inch-thick French fry-style strips, soaked in cold water 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs or some combo of dried oregano, thyme, marjoram, and basil 2 cups freshly grated Romano cheese 1/4 cup parsley leaves, finely chopped 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter, cut into 6 cubes Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Drain the potatoes and pat dry with paper towels. Spread 1 tablespoon of the olive oil on each of 2 rimmed baking sheets and spread out the potatoes. Overlapping is fine.

Sprinkle the dried herbs evenly over the potatoes. Liberally spread the cheese and parsley on top. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the cheese. Scatter the cubed butter around the pans.

Bake until the potatoes are golden brown, rotating the pans after 30 minutes, for 45 to 50 minutes total. Use a spatula to lift off the potatoes with all the crusty cheese adhered to them. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/08/2014   These are fantastic!! I thought that they might burn cooking that long, but it came out perfect. I did use parm. cheese, didn't have Romano. Do cut your fries thin to cook in time. I love Mad Hungry and all the recipes I have made are great!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/11/2013   These were FANTASTIC, make sure you cut your potatoes the same size as the picture. I have a french fry cutter so it worked well for me. I baked mine a bit longer than the recipe and I also didn't use all the cheese. They were out of this world GOOD.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       06/07/2012   This is definitely a 5 star recipe! My husband and I loved it! The best oven fries I've made. Soaking them before really does make a huge difference. I halved the recipe for the two of us, but would definitely make the full batch for a party sometime.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/02/2011   I made these fries last week and they were amazing! There are only 4 of us and there was not a single fry left over. I didn't have Romano so I used the big bag of Parmesan that I get from Costco. Delicious! I just purchased the Romano, so I will try that next week.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/04/2011   I just watched this on TV and it looked as though she used much less butter at the end. Is there a mistake in the recipe? I think I will try less butter. But YUM, love baked fries. This would also be great with some minced garlic thrown on after serving, like the Bukharan style.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/27/2010   Easy. I changed it a bit. I put prepared potatoes in a big bowl and toss them in the EVOO and add seasonings. I have used various types of seasonings. Such as Taco seasoning with a Jack cheese blend and BQQ seasoning with a cheddar cheese also.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/20/2010   This was very easy and absolutely DELICIOUS! The fries are a bit decadent but well worth it :)  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/17/2010   I tried them and the whole family loved them!!! Easy!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/14/2010   These looked so yummy - I can't wait to make them. (Shouldn't Step 4 actually be Step 2?)
