Preheat oven to 350F.

Peel the potatoes and slice for French fries. Lay the potatoes out on a paper towel, pat dry. Potatoes should be as dry as possible.

Put potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle with oil, tossing to coat evenly.

Lay in a single layer on a large baking sheet; sprinkle with the dry dressing mix and parsley.

Bake 25 min, then flip over only once. Return to the oven and increase the temperature to 450F. Cook 3 to 5 min longer until potatoes are tender and start to brown.
