Let’s talk about one of the most irresistible snacks ever – potato fries! We all love it. But today, how about trying something different than potato fries. It’s the steak fries recipe guys!
They’re basically potato wedges that are roasted until they’re crispy. They’re thicker than French fries, and make for the perfect side dish with burgers, wraps, dips, guacamole, salsa, and more. So, let’s look at the recipe.
To make steak fries, preheat the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, cut potatoes into wedges, and season them well. Grease the baking dish with oil spray, and spread the wedges evenly. Roast the wedges for thirty minutes, and your steak fries are ready.
I believe that roasting the potato makes the interior much creamier than frying it. And the bonus is that it’s less oily too. So, be careful not to over-roast the potato wedges, and keep them golden brown. What a satisfying snack it makes!
So, what are we waiting for? I am quickly going to share the list of ingredients you’d require. The list is going to be teeny-weeny. Also, there are other recipes that you can have as starters, let’s check them out.

Steps To Make Steak Fries
1. Before Baking
Choose gold potatoes of uniform size, and cut them into wedges. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, and then each half into four pieces lengthwise. You can leave the skin on for added texture, and nutrients or take it off if you prefer.
2. Preheat The Oven
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and grease the baking pan with cooking spray. This will prevent the fries from sticking to the baking pan. Also, you can microwave the potato wedges for five minutes before roasting.
3. Season And Roast
Scatter the potato wedges on the baking pan, and brush a little olive oil on top of the wedges. Season the wedges with kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Toss the potato wedges.
Roast the potato wedges in the preheated oven for thirty minutes. After thirty minutes, take the baking pan out of the oven, and flip the potato wedges using tongs. Return the baking pan to the oven, and roast for another ten minutes.
Delicious and crispy steak fries are perfect as a side dish. Serve them hot, and enjoy.
