INGREDIENT NOTES:

POTATOES:

  • We will be using potatoes as the basic item in this recipe, as we will coat them with garlic as well as Parmesan. After baking, the consistency of these potatoes will get crunchy. The potatoes that you will find the most appropriate for this recipe are russet potatoes. Other ideas can be red or Yukon Gold potatoes.

GARLIC POWDER:

  • This is also the core flavor in this recipe, which gives a great taste to the fries. Do not utilize fresh garlic cloves for this; powder is the most appropriate item for this recipe.

SALT:

  • Using salt will definitely improve the overall taste of this recipe as the potatoes will become better with its addition. Low-sodium salt can be another option to utilize for this ingredient.

BLACK PEPPER:

  • Maintaining the taste of the fries can be done with the use of black pepper, as it will include a little bit of warm flavor. An alternative idea can be the use of white pepper.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

  • Parmesan is also the basic item we will be adding to the fries when they are freshly baked. The crisp consistency will come along when we use this ingredient. If you require an alternative, try nutritional yeast.

PARSLEY:

  • This is actually an optional item for you to use, but adding this will definitely provide you with a refreshing feel. The overall recipe will look more appetizing with its use. Another idea can be herbs (dried) in place of parsley.

WATER:

  • We need to avoid oil in this recipe, as this is for Weight Watchers, so for this purpose, we will be using water so that the salt and pepper can easily combine with the fries. An alternative option can be vegetable broth in place of water.
