Recipe Ingredients Notes
To make oven baked seasoned steak fries, you will need the following ingredients:
- Oil: use either olive oil, avocado oil, or vegetable oil
- Seasonings: you will need to paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder on hand for your homemade seasoning
- Potatoes: grab large russet potatoes from the grocery store
Equipment Needed
For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:
How to Make Steak Fries
- Preheat the oven to 450℉.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder and onion powder.
- Add potato wedges to olive oil mixture and toss until evenly coated.
- Cover a baking sheet in foil and spread coated potato wedges onto it.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
Expert Tips
- Best potatoes for steak fries: Our favorite potatoes to use are Yukon gold. The best part of Yukon gold potatoes is the taste and the thin outer skin. Yukon gold’s thin skin is ideal for those who like a fry with the skin left on.
- How to pick the right potatoes: You first want to give the potatoes a little squeeze. You want to be sure that there is no give and the potatoes are firm. Soft potatoes are not as good! Although soft potatoes aren’t bad to eat, we recommend crisp, firm potatoes for better flavor and texture when cooking.
- How to cut potatoes: Start with a raw whole potato that has been scrubbed clean and patted dry. Place potatoes on their side lengthwise and cut into three large, long sections. Slice each section lengthwise into steak fries, about ¼ inch thick and 4-5 inches long (the length will depend on the length of your potato).
- Do I need to use cold water? When making these crispy steak fries it is not required to soak them in cold water. But you will want to make sure you rinse the whole potatoes before you make the thick cut oven fries to get that nice crispy outer layer when you apply the vegetable oil.
- Best dipping sauces for homemade fries: I am not sure that I have a favorite dipping sauce, maybe more like favorite sauces. I can always go for the classic ketchup option with a good steak fry. Garlic aioli is a tasty sauce that you can at the grocery store and is delicious with baked steak fries. Fry sauce (aka ketchup and mayo) or honey mustard are other popular choices.
Storage Instructions
The best crispy perfection version of steak fries is best when enjoyed fresh. However, you can store them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge to eat the next day for an easy side dish. I would suggest warming them up in the air fryer to try your best to keep the delicious fries crispy. You can even spay them with a little more cooking spray when you air fry them, but don’t overdo it or they will become soggy.

Wow, that is too weird! I was just about to make these and then realized I had lost my recipe. Well, I suppose it’s meant to be tonight! Thanks!
These look INCREDIBLE! Can’t wait to try! Thanks for the recipe!
These look so Delicious! I’ve never had streak fries before but after seeing these I want to make some!
These tasted awesome and delicious!
Do you not add any salt?
No salt needed with all of the other seasonings.
Great recipe! Thank you!!
What could you substitute for the chili powder ?
Here is a quick and easy recipe to substitute for chili powder:
Makes about 2 tablespoons –
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
I made without salt but entire family added salt. I do think it’s necessary but often I find better to add after you cook them otherwise potatoes won’t be crispy.
Hello! I made these last night for my family…DEEEEELISH! I doubled the recipe because of the size of my family (5) and we’re carb lovers….and they came out wonderfully. Wouldn’t change a thing! Turning them halfway through is key to success.
Delicious! We make them all the time!
I typed my comment twice on my phone and continued to receive an error. Here we go again ! My autistic child loved these and this is a big deal if you know anyone that’s autistic . I didn’t bake them the full time as the recipe calls for nor did I bake then on 450, because of my kiddos pallet . Not to mention , I did not use the full amount of onion and garlic powder for the same reason . My kid actually hates them both. Therefore, I figured less would not be detected , because I wanted him to try it before saying he doesn’t like it. They were good! I love fries and wanted a season that wasn’t salty. I found your website by searching for a seasoning. I get food boredom easily . LOL Now, I’ll be checking out your Youtube channel . If you see three comments from me its a mistake .
So glad to hear that your child liked the seasoned steak fries. It’s good to hear the changes you made with certain ingredients, it helps others looking for questions.
Made these tasty baked fries last night, and they were a hit! I added salt and pepper.
