The best part about these yummy steak fries is that they are healthier than a regular "fried" french fry. Only one tablespoon of oil is used in this recipe. And not only are these fries healthier, they are so much easier to make.

These fries make an excellent appetizer or side dish paired with burgers, chicken, sandwiches and more! I will link some of my favorite main courses to serve with these fries for you below.
You want the oven to be really hot when making these fries because it will ensure a light crunch on the outside with a soft center. To me, that is the best kind of fry. My hubby on the other hand likes them a little crunchier. If that's you, simply leave the fries in a few minutes longer.
Ingredients you need for this recipe:
- Russet Potatoes - About three medium sized potatoes, peeled.
- Oil - I use canola or vegetable oil. Olive oil can tend to be heavy.
- Salt - I use sea salt for these fries but you can use whatever salt you have on hand.
- Garlic Powder - You can skip garlic powder if you'd like but it adds a delicious flavor to the fries.
- Onion Powder - You can also skip onion powder but I always use it when making these fries.
