Texas Roadhouse steak fries are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and full of flavor. They are a favorite side dish at the Texas Roadhouse restaurant chain.
Wash the large potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on for added texture. Cut the potatoes into evenly sized steak fries or wedges.
Prepare Coating Mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, chili powder, plain breadcrumbs, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to create a coating mixture.
Coat the Potatoes:
Toss the potato wedges into the coating mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Drizzle with Olive Oil:
Drizzle the olive oil over the coated potato wedges. Toss again to ensure the potatoes are well coated with both the dry mixture and olive oil.
Season with Salt:
Sprinkle salt over the coated potatoes according to your taste preferences. Remember, the Parmesan cheese can add some saltiness, so adjust accordingly.
Arrange on Baking Sheet:
Arrange the coated potato wedges on a baking sheet in a single layer. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow even baking.
Bake in the Oven:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the steak fries are golden brown and crispy. Flip the fries halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.
Check for Doneness:
Check for doneness by inserting a fork or knife into one of the fries. It should be tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Serve Hot:
Once done, remove the steak fries from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve them hot and enjoy the Texas Roadhouse-inspired steak fries with your favorite dipping sauce!
Optional:
Feel free to customize the seasoning to your liking or serve the fries with additional toppings like chopped fresh parsley or extra Parmesan cheese.
