Lemon Pepper Oven Fries Recipes

LEMON-PEPPER FRIES

Steps:

• Peel and rinse the potatoes. Slice them lengthwise into thin slices, and then into thin sticks. Place the potato sticks in a bowl and cover them with cold water. Swish them around, then pour off the water and replace it with fresh water. Swish them around again and pour off the water, then cover with fresh water and let soak for 2 to 3 hours.
• Make the seasoning: Mix the pepper, lemon zest, salt, garlic powder, mustard powder and onion powder in a large bowl and set aside.
• When you're ready to make the fries, heat about 3 inches of oil in a heavy pot until a deep-fry thermometer registers 300 degrees F.
• Drain the potatoes and lay them out on baking sheets lined with paper towels. Blot them with more paper towels to dry. Carefully drop half of the fries into the oil and cook until they start to soften, 2 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on fresh paper towels. Repeat with the remaining fries.
• Increase the oil temperature to 400 degrees F. Fry the potatoes in two batches again until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 5 minutes, returning the oil to 400 degrees F between batches. Remove the fries from the oil, add to the bowl with the seasoning and toss to coat. When all the fries are cooked, toss with the parsley.

STEAK FRITES WITH LEMON AND PEPPER SEASONING AND EASY HOLLANDAISE

Steps:

• For the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Slice the potatoes into thin wedges and put in a medium bowl. Add the oil, melted butter and seasoning salt and toss to coat. Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Cook, turning once halfway through, until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
• For the easy hollandaise: In a small saucepan, melt the butter until sizzling.
• Put the egg yolks in a blender and turn to low to allow the yolks to combine. Begin pouring in the very hot butter in a thin stream; the blender should remain on the whole time, and the butter should be poured in very slowly. Keep adding the butter until it's all gone, then immediately begin adding the lemon juice. Check the blender to make sure the sauce is still liquidy and moving easily through the blades. If not, add a little more juice and give it a stir, then blend again. Add the cayenne pepper and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Transfer to a serving pitcher and cover with foil until serving.
• For the lemon and pepper seasoning: In a ziptop bag, crack the peppercorns using a rolling pin. Add to a small bowl with the lemon zest, kosher salt, garlic powder, mustard powder, onion powder and sugar and mix well to combine.
• For the steak: Heat a grill pan or large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
• Brush the steaks with melted butter on both sides and season with the lemon and pepper seasoning. Cook, basting the steaks occasionally with more melted butter, until cooked to desired doneness, 2 to 4 minutes a side. Rest for a minute or so.
• To serve, arrange the potato wedges on a platter, add the steaks and drizzle with the hollandaise. Serve with iceberg wedges and ranch dressing.

ROASTED LEMON PEPPER POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
• Trim off long edges of the russet potatoes so that they can lay flat. Cut in half lengthwise and rinse in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch. Pat dry on paper towels. Season generously with black pepper, cayenne, and salt.
• Coat the bottom of a large baking dish with olive oil. Lay potatoes seasoned-sides down in the dish. Brush tops with more olive oil; season with pepper, cayenne, and salt.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove and carefully flip potatoes over. Let rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine broth with lemon zest and juice. Pour mixture over the potatoes. Scrape zest off the tops of the potatoes and back into the broth. Stick oregano sprigs between the potatoes. Season with pepper. Shake the dish lightly to slosh the sauce back and forth.
• Return potatoes to the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Flip again; continue roasting until very soft and creamy on the inside and crusty on the outside, 10 to 15 minutes more. Flip over once more to serve. Drizzle more olive oil on top; sprinkle with pepper and more oregano.
