Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large russet potatoes
- ½ cup (120 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 tbsps (45 ml) olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsps fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preparation: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to create a non-stick surface for optimal roasting.
- Potato Cutting: Slice potatoes into eight thick, angular wedges, maintaining uniform size to ensure consistent cooking and crispy texture.
- Starch Removal: Submerge potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes to release excess starch, then drain completely and thoroughly dry using kitchen towels or paper towels.
- Seasoning Blend: Coat potato wedges with olive oil, then generously layer with garlic powder, grated Parmesan cheese, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper, ensuring even distribution for maximum flavor infusion.
- Baking Technique: Arrange seasoned wedges on the prepared baking sheet with slight separation to promote air circulation, then roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, rotating midway to achieve a golden-brown, crispy exterior while maintaining a tender interior.
- Finishing Touch: Remove from oven and allow steak fries to rest briefly, letting the exterior set and flavors meld before serving.
Notes
- Prevent Soggy Fries: Soak potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, ensuring a crispier exterior when baked.
- Optimize Seasoning Distribution: Thoroughly dry potato wedges before adding oil and spices to help seasonings adhere better and create a more even flavor profile.
- Maximize Crispiness: Space potato wedges slightly apart on the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation, promoting a golden-brown and crunchy texture.
- Customize Dietary Needs: Swap Parmesan for nutritional yeast to make the recipe vegan, or use gluten-free alternatives for those with dietary restrictions.
