Cook Time: 30-60 min

You think fries, you think burgers. These fries are perfect with
chicken, steak and salmon, too.

Ingredients
2 large baking potatoes (about 11/2 pounds), scrubbed well
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon Emeril's Original Essence (CLICK HERE for recipe) or
Creole Seasoning (CLICK HERE for recipe)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Directions
Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Pat the potatoes dry and cut them lengthwise into 1 /2-inch-thick
slices. Turn each side flat and slice again lengthwise into even
1 /2-inch-thick fries.

Place the potatoes in a mixing bowl and add the olive oil,
Essence, and 1 /4 teaspoon of the salt. Toss well to combine.
Then transfer the fries to a large baking sheet and arrange them
in one even layer so that they are not touching.

Roast, scraping the potatoes from the baking sheet with a metal
spatula and turning them over halfway through, until golden brown
and crispy, 30 minutes.

While the potatoes are cooking, combine the cheese, paprika,
garlic powder, onion powder, and the remaining 1 /2 teaspoon salt
