Creating Dirty Martini Steak Fries is easy when you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thick wedges or steak fry shapes.
3. Soak the Potatoes: In a large bowl, soak the potato wedges in cold water for about 10 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and ensures crispiness.
4. Drain and Dry: Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect crisp.
5. Mix the Oil and Seasonings: In a separate bowl, combine olive oil, gin, dry vermouth, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
6. Coat the Potatoes: Add the dried potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated in the mixture.
7. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they aren’t touching for even cooking.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
9. Add Olives: In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the sliced olives over the fries to warm them up.
10. Garnish: Once baked, remove the fries from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an appealing presentation.
