Indulge in the perfect combination of crispy fries and savory bacon tonight!

1

Begin by preheating the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).

2

While the oven is heating, wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin fries, roughly 1/4 inch thick.

3

Soak the cut fries in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which will help them become crispy.

4

After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

5

Place the fries in a large bowl and toss them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

6

Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded.

7

Bake the fries in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.

8

While the fries are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, which should take around 8-10 minutes.

9

Once cooked, place the bacon on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease, and then crumble it into small pieces.

10

When the fries are done baking, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled bacon and grated parmesan cheese over the hot fries.

11

Return the fries to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

12

Finally, garnish the bacon fries with chopped parsley before serving.
