Garlic Parmesan Steak Fries 🍟🧄🧀
Ingredients:
4 large russet potatoes
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it nice and hot, which is essential for achieving that crispy exterior.
2. Start by washing and scrubbing the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for added texture and flavor, then cut each potato into thick wedges, about 1 inch wide.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, making sure every wedge is well coated. This step is crucial as it helps the seasoning stick and promotes a crispy texture.
4. Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the potato wedges. Toss everything together until the fries are evenly covered with the seasoning mix.
5. Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure to leave space between each wedge to allow hot air to circulate, which helps them crisp up beautifully.
6. Roast the fries in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even cooking. You want them golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining fluffy on the inside.
7. Once done, remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot fries so it melts slightly.
8. Finish off by garnishing your delicious Garlic Parmesan Steak Fries with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy these irresistible fries as a perfect side dish or a snack. They're sure to become a favorite!
