Homemade garlic parmesan baked steak fries offer a crispy, golden-brown delight with irresistible herb-infused flavor. Cheese-coated potato wedges deliver a satisfying crunch that makes snacking pure pleasure.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6–7 medium russet potatoes (cleaned and cut into fry-sized pieces)
- ½ cup (120 ml) shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1–2 tbsps (15–30 ml) olive oil
- 1–2 tbsps granulated garlic
- 1–2 tsps table salt or fine Kosher salt
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Preheat oven to 450°F, establishing a high-heat environment for achieving crispy potato wedges.
- Baking Surface Setup: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray to prevent adhesion.
- Seasoning Fusion: Toss potato wedges with olive oil, then lavishly coat with grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring complete coverage of each wedge.
- Flavor Layering: Massage granulated garlic, salt, and finely chopped fresh parsley into the oiled potatoes, creating a robust and aromatic seasoning blend.
- Strategic Positioning: Meticulously arrange potato wedges in a single, uncrowded layer on the prepared baking sheet to maximize crisp potential.
- Roasting Process: Bake for 40-45 minutes, rotating wedges halfway through cooking to guarantee uniform golden-brown coloration and optimal crunchiness.
- Finishing Touch: Remove from oven, perform a final seasoning adjustment with additional salt if desired, and serve piping hot to capture maximum flavor and texture.
Notes
- Choose Potato Type Wisely: Russet potatoes work best due to their high starch content, creating crispier exterior and fluffy interior when baked.
- Master Spacing Technique: Spread potato wedges with enough room between them, preventing steaming and ensuring maximum crispiness and golden-brown edges.
- Control Moisture Secret: Pat potato wedges completely dry before seasoning to eliminate excess water, which prevents achieving that perfect crunchy texture.
- Cheese Melting Hack: Grate Parmesan fresh for more intense flavor and better melting properties compared to pre-packaged alternatives.
