Choosing the Right Potatoes

The first step in making steak fries is choosing the right potatoes. Look for large, starchy potatoes like Russets or Idaho potatoes. These varieties are perfect for creating crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside steak fries.

Prepping the Potatoes

After selecting the potatoes, wash and peel them. Cut the potatoes into thick wedges or strips, making sure they are all similar in size for even cooking. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Seasoning and Coating

Once the potatoes have soaked, drain and pat them dry with a paper towel. Toss the potatoes in a mixture of olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you prefer, such as garlic powder, paprika, or rosemary. Make sure the potatoes are evenly coated.

Baking the Fries

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.

Serve and Enjoy

Once the steak fries are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside your main dish. Enjoy the crispy exterior and fluffy interior of these homemade steak fries!
