Notes
For crispy steak fries: Don't skip the 30-minute soak, and pat the potatoes completely dry before adding the oil and seasonings. Arrange the wedges cut-side down in a single layer, leaving space between each one.
Potatoes: Russet potatoes give you the fluffiest centers. Yukon Gold potatoes can be substituted for a creamier texture.
Seasoning: Homemade steak seasoning or store-bought Montreal steak seasoning works well. Check the salt content before adding any additional salt.
Baking: Use a second baking sheet if needed to avoid overcrowding. Bake at 425°F for approximately 35–45 minutes, flipping once, until golden, crispy, and fork-tender.
Doubling: Double the ingredients and divide the potatoes between additional baking sheets. Rotate pans as needed and check for doneness.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Warm leftover steak fries in a 400°F oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until hot and crispy.
