We love making our own fries. Whether we are making steak fries, parmesan truffle fries, or even our oven-baked french fries, it’s always a special treat.
For this steak fries recipe, russet potatoes are cut into thick wedges and seasoned with an iconic steak seasoning. Then, we bake the wedges until they are brown and crisp. These fries are irresistible and make for the perfect easy side dish to a simple lunch like our buffalo chicken wrap.
Serve alongside ketchup and a variety of homemade dips and sauces. Our favorite dipping sauce has to be our garlic aioli dip and of course the classic chick-fil-a sauce.

Recipe FAQs
Yes, you can use yukon gold potatoes and still get delicious wedges.
We keep the skin on these wedges, but you can peel them if you would like. If keeping the skin on, be sure to thoroughly scrub the skin.
We wash the potatoes thoroughly so that we can eat the peel.
If prepping the wedges ahead of time, submerge the potato slices in cold water and keep in the fridge before ready to bake. This helps prevent browning and soft potatoes.
Store & Reheat
- Storage. Leftover potatoes can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Reheat. Bake the leftover wedges in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
- Freeze. Lay out the cooked steak fry wedges on a baking sheet and freeze. Once frozen, place the fries into a freezer-safe bag and store for up to 3 months. Reheat: Warm up the fries in the air fryer at 400°F for about 12 minutes.
