Crispy Baked Parmesan Potato Fries: A Guilt-Free Delight

I just want to start with a big thank you—for showing up with your love for homemade comfort food and a desire to make it just a little healthier without losing the fun. These Crispy Baked Parmesan Potato Fries are my way of saying: yes, you absolutely can have both. Crunchy, golden, cheesy, oven-baked goodness—minus the deep-fry guilt? Yes, please.

These fries are seriously addictive. I’ve made them on rainy Sundays, late-night snack runs, and even as a “surprise upgrade” for burgers at family BBQs. Every time, they vanish fast. I promised you versatile, and here’s proof!
