Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
- 3 tbsps olive oil
- ¼ cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp dried oregano
Instructions
- Prep Stage: Ignite the oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for effortless cleanup and pristine release.
- Potato Transformation: Slice russet potatoes into robust, thick wedges, creating eight uniform sections per potato that promise substantial and hearty fry-like dimensions.
- Moisture Elimination: Immerse potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes to extract excess starch, then drain completely and blot dry with paper towels to ensure ultimate crispness.
- Seasoning Fusion: Distribute potato wedges across the baking sheet in a single, uncrowded layer, then cascade olive oil over the wedges, thoroughly coating each piece with a harmonious blend of minced garlic, parmesan, dried herbs, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper.
- Roasting Perfection: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven, rotating wedges midway through the 25-30 minute cooking cycle to achieve a golden-brown exterior with a tender, pillowy interior that promises exceptional texture and deep, complex flavor profiles.
- Serving Ritual: Extract the fries when they radiate a crispy, caramelized appearance and exude an irresistible garlic-parmesan fragrance, allowing a brief cooling moment to enhance their textural integrity before presenting to eager diners.
Notes
- Potato Prep Pro: Soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, ensuring crispier and more evenly cooked fries.
- Strategic Spacing Strategy: Spread wedges in a single layer without overcrowding to guarantee maximum crispness and uniform browning.
- Moisture Management Technique: Pat potato wedges completely dry before seasoning to prevent soggy results and achieve a perfectly crisp exterior.
- Temperature Timing Trick: Flip fries halfway through cooking to ensure even golden-brown coloration and prevent burning on one side.
