PARMESAN STEAK FRITES

3 large egg whites
coarse salt and fresh ground pepper (to taste)
3 baking potatoes (8 to 10 ounces each)
1 1/4 cups grated parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk egg whites with 1 teaspoon salt until frothy; set aside.

Cut each potato into 6 long spears; add to the egg whites and turn to coat.

One at a time, lift spears out of the egg whites, shaking off excess. Working over a plate, sprinkle with parmesan cheese until coated (do not shake off the excess). Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake, without turning, until the potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
