Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 12 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 14 cup unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 12 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 12 teaspoon paprika
- 12 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
Oil and Garnish:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or aluminum foil, creating a non-stick surface for even cooking.
- Transform potatoes into robust, generous wedges by slicing each potato into approximately eight thick, angular sections, ensuring uniform size for consistent roasting.
- Immerse potato wedges in cold water for a half-hour duration, allowing excess starch to release and promoting a future crisp exterior. Thoroughly drain the water and meticulously pat the wedges dry using clean kitchen towels or paper towels.
- Drizzle olive oil across the potato wedges, ensuring each piece receives a uniform coating that will facilitate golden-brown caramelization during roasting.
- Generously sprinkle garlic powder, providing an intense aromatic foundation that will permeate each wedge with robust flavor.
- Liberally dust the wedges with grated Parmesan cheese, creating a savory, textured crust that will transform during baking into a crispy, golden exterior.
- Season with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, distributing the seasoning evenly to enhance the potatoes’ natural earthiness.
- Arrange the seasoned wedges on the prepared baking sheet, positioning them with slight separation to guarantee optimal air circulation and crispness.
- Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for approximately 25-30 minutes, rotating the baking sheet midway to ensure uniform browning and achieving a perfectly crisp, golden-brown exterior.
- Remove from the oven and let the steak fries rest for a few minutes, allowing the exterior to set and the interior to remain tender and fluffy.
Notes
- Soaking potatoes in cold water removes excess starch, ensuring your steak fries turn out extra crispy with a golden exterior.
- Pat the potato wedges completely dry before seasoning to help them achieve maximum crunchiness and prevent soggy results.
- Season generously with garlic powder, grated Parmesan, and salt to create a flavorful coating that caramelizes beautifully in the high-heat oven.
- For a healthier twist, swap regular potatoes with sweet potatoes or try a mix of russet and red potatoes to add variety and different nutrient profiles.
