Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 40-45 minutes
Total time: 55-60 minutes
Number of servings: 4
Ingredients
For the fries:
- 4-5 medium potatoes (approximately 800 g)
- 20 g butter (at room temperature)
- 2-3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or fresh, if preferred)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the meat:
- 3-4 pieces of pork steak (approximately 800 g)
- 300 ml white wine
- 3-4 cloves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Step by step:
1. Preparing the potatoes:
- Start by washing the potatoes well under cold running water. This step is essential to remove impurities and achieve a clean and tasty dish.
- Peel the potatoes using a knife or a peeler, then cut them in half. Each half is cut again into two, resulting in quarters.
- Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water to keep them fresh and prevent oxidation.
2. Mixing the ingredients:
- In a large baking dish, add the 2-3 teaspoons of olive oil and the soft butter. Use your hands to mix the ingredients well, ensuring a homogeneous mixture.
- Add the drained potatoes and season with salt, pepper, rosemary, oregano, and basil. Mix again, ensuring that each potato piece is well coated.
3. Baking the fries:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (medium heat). Place the dish with the potatoes in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until they turn golden and crispy. It is recommended to stir them halfway through the cooking time for even baking.
4. Preparing the meat:
- While the potatoes are baking, prepare the meat. Wash the steak pieces well and then place them in a dish.
- Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and white wine. Add the cloves for extra flavor. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake the meat at 180°C for about 30-35 minutes. At the end, remove the foil to allow the meat to brown nicely.
5. Serving:
- When the fries are ready, take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve them alongside the pork meat and, for a delicious contrast, add pickles. These will perfectly complement the flavors and bring an extra freshness.
Useful tips:
- You can experiment with different types of spices to customize the flavor of the fries. For example, add dried garlic or chili for a bit of spice.
- If you prefer a healthier dish, you can reduce the amount of butter and use only olive oil.
- Instead of pork, you can try chicken breast or even fish, thus adapting the recipe to your preferences.
