Baked Steak Fries
Totally walking you through the steps for making easy baked steak fries that come out perfect every time. Those rustic golden edges we're all looking for with just the right amount of crunch, such a delicious side.
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 ½ tablespoons avocado or canola oil
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
-
Peel potatoes and cut each into thirds through the thickness. Then cut each potato third into 3 or 4 fries, lengthwise (see pictures in post). Each potato should yield about 9 to 12 thick steak fries.
-
Toss potatoes in a large bowl with oil and salt. Then spread evenly (without overlapping) onto prepared parchment lined baking sheet.
-
Bake in preheated 450 degree oven for 25-30 minutes or until bottom is golden brown.. Then remove from oven and turn fries so golden brown side is on top. Cook an additional 5 to 10 minutes until fries are tender and cooked to your desired level of crispiness.
-
Serve immediately with fry sauce and/or ketchup.
Recipe Notes
1. You can also scrub the potatoes well and leave the skins on.
2. We normally double this recipe for our family of 5 (which includes 2 hungry teen boys). For each batch you will need another baking sheet (don't try to cram them all onto one or they won't be crispy). It works well to rotate the baking sheets halfway through the initial baking time.
