Herbed Steak Fries are a delicious and hearty side dish that pairs perfectly with just about any main course. These thick-cut potato wedges are seasoned with a blend of fresh or dried herbs, then baked to crispy perfection. The combination of tender, fluffy interiors and crispy, golden exteriors makes these fries irresistible. Plus, the fragrant herbs add a burst of flavor that elevates the humble potato to something truly special. Serve them alongside steaks, burgers, or grilled chicken, or enjoy them on their own as a snack.
Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or 2 teaspoons fresh, finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 2 teaspoons fresh, finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Cut the Potatoes: Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato. You should end up with about 6-8 wedges per potato.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil until they are evenly coated. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, thyme, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the herb mixture over the potatoes and toss again to coat the wedges evenly.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping. This allows them to crisp up evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the fries from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese. Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite main course.
