Italian Fries

More fries....hehe....these weren't as awesome as some of the other fries I have made - BUT they were still really good.  I would recommend cutting them more french fry style cause then I think they will get more crispy!!  Go good with any burger or sandwich!!
Serves 6 - Mad Hungry

Ingredients:
6 potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/3-inch-thick French fry-style strip, soaked in cold salted water
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) olive oil
1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs (or combo of dried oregano, thyme, marjoram, and basil)
2 cups freshly grated Romano cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter, cut into 6 cubes
salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 400.  Drain the potatoes and pat dry with paper towels.  Spread 1 tablespoon of the olive oil on each of 2 rimmed baking sheets and spread out the potatoes.  Overlapping is fine.

Sprinkle the dried herbs evenly over the potatoes.  Liberally spread the cheese and parsley on top.  Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the cheese.  Scatter the cubed butter around the pans.

Bake until the potatoes are golden brown, rotating the pans after 30 minutes, for 45 to 50 minutes total.  Use a spatula to lift off the potatoes with all the crusty cheese adhered to them.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.  Serve hot.
