Ingredients
Instructions

- Place the coated potatoes in a baking dish.
- Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until tender and golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For perfectly crispy steak fries, make sure the potatoes are cut into even wedges to ensure uniform cooking. Soaking the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes can help remove excess starch, resulting in a crispier texture. If you're looking for a healthier alternative, consider using olive oil instead of vegetable oil. You can also experiment with different seasonings like garlic powder or paprika for added flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your steak fries alongside a juicy burger or as a side dish to grilled meats for a satisfying meal. They also pair beautifully with Butter Green Beans for a more balanced plate. For a fun twist, try dipping them in a tangy sauce or your favorite condiment, like ketchup or aioli.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover steak fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until heated through and crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?
Yes, sweet potatoes can be used to make steak fries, giving them a slightly sweeter flavor and vibrant color. Just be mindful that sweet potatoes may cook faster than regular potatoes, so adjust your baking time accordingly.
How can I make these fries spicier?
To add some heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper onto the fries before baking. You can also toss them with a spicy seasoning blend or serve with a spicy dipping sauce for an extra kick.
Can I make these fries in an air fryer?
Absolutely! For air-fried steak fries, preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and cook the fries in batches for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. This will yield a crispy result with less oil than traditional baking.
