You will need one and a half potatoes per person. You will cut the potatoes in half. Then cut the half potato in o strips the length of the potato.
You can make a flour and seasoning mixture for the potatoes if you wish. You can fry the potato slices just as they are too.
For the flour mixture you will need one cup of flour, a quarter to half of teaspoon of your favorite seasoning mix, and a dash of salt. Mix all the dry ingredients in a gallon Ziplock storage bag.
Heat the oil or oven to 350 degrees.
Place the potato strips into the Ziplock bag mixture and shake.
You will fry the fries until they are golden brown or until they start to float.
If you choose to bake them, you will need to bake them for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
So making your own steak fries at home will be more cost effective than ordering them at a diner, fast food restaurant or fine dining establishment. Steak fries are also one of the easiest comfort foods to make at home.
Steak fries can be served with any meal you would normally or unconventially serve fries with
