Homemade Steak Fries

Nothing complements a grilled steak or a juicy hamburger quite like a side of perfectly cooked steak fries. The crispy, golden-brown exterior and the soft, flavorful interior of steak fries create the ideal harmony with the timeless combination of savory meat and hearty potatoes. This straightforward yet delicious recipe is brimming with flavor, thanks to our exclusive blend of Applewood Smoked Sea Salt, smoked Paprika, and smoked Peppercorn, which elevate the taste to a whole new level. To take this dish to even greater heights, we prepared it on the smoker using fragrant applewood pellets; the result was nothing short of extraordinary—a mouthwatering adventure that enhances any meal.

Ingredients

4 large russet potatoes
3 tbsp olive oil
1 1⁄2 tsp applewood smoked sea salt
1 tsp applewood smoked paprika
1⁄2 tsp freshly ground applewood smoked pepper 1⁄2 tsp garlic powder
1⁄2 tsp onion powder
Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C), or set your smoker to 400 degrees using applewood pellets. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, or spray a grill grate with non sticking oil.
2. Scrub potatoes clean and pat dry. Cut each potato lengthwise into thick wedges (about 8 wedges per potato).
3. In a large bowl, toss potato wedges with olive oil, applewood smoked sea salt, applewood smoked paprika, applewood smoked pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly coated.
4. Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet / grill grate, cut side down for maximum crispiness.
5. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes. Flip each wedge after 20-30 minutes and bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
6. Remove from oven / smoker and sprinkle with a little extra applewood smoked sea salt if desired. Garnish with chopped parsley.
7. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
