Wash and cut the russet potatoes into uniform strips to ensure even cooking.
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil and garlic powder to coat evenly.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through.
While the fries are baking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Once the fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven.
Toss them with the garlic butter mixture, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.
