Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the Dressing: In a bowl, combine grated garlic, mayonnaise, finely grated Parmesan, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir until smooth and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Bake the Fries: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the russet potatoes into 1/2" wedges. Toss them with extra-virgin olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a hot baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
  3. Cook the Chicken: While the fries are baking, pound the chicken cutlets to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper, dip in the beaten eggs, and coat in all-purpose flour. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet and fry the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
  4. Assembly: Slice the romaine hearts and layer the crispy fries on a large platter. Top with the fried chicken pieces, add the romaine, drizzle the homemade Caesar dressing over it all, and finish with extra grated Parmesan for that final touch.
