Prepare Potatoes: Start by cutting fresh potatoes into fry shapes, aiming for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking. If using frozen fries, simply measure out the desired amount for a quick shortcut.

Mix Spices: In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, dried thyme, seasoned salt, freshly cracked pepper, and chopped fresh parsley.

Coat Fries: Toss your prepared potatoes into the spice mixture, stirring gently until each fry is evenly coated.

Bake or Fry: Spread the coated fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F (218°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown. Or, heat oil in a deep skillet and fry the potatoes until crispy, about 4-6 minutes.

Add Cheese: While the fries are still hot, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over them, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.

Serve: Enjoy your Garlic Parmesan Fries warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
