Air Fryer Seasoned Steak Fries

Air Fryer Seasoned Steak Fries are crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection! They're made healthier in the air fryer using very little oil. Perfect as a side dish, appetizer, or snack.

Ingredients

Just a few simple ingredients are tossed together to make these air fryer seasoned steak fries. You likely already have them in your kitchen!

Potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes are the best variety for these steak fries. They crisp up nicely on the outside and are the most creamy and tender on the inside. You could substitute for Russet potatoes, but they may be a little more dry on the inside with less flavor.

Olive Oil: Using just a little Olive Oil in this recipe helps the fries get crispy on the outside.

Seasoning: Paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and sea salt.

When Are Potatoes In Season

Potatoes are in season during the fall and winter! If you're anything like me, then you may try to enjoy vegetables when they are in season. Though you can typically find potatoes at the grocery store all year round, they're usually harvested in the fall. Since they store well, potatoes are still fresh throughout the winter.

Step-By-Step Instructions

These air fryer seasoned steak fries are simple to make.

1. Heat the air fryer. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F.
2. Prepare the potatoes. Wash and dry the potatoes. Cut each lengthwise into thick wedges, about ½" thick. Place the wedges in a large mixing bowl, and toss with the olive oil until coated. Add the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and sea salt. Toss until combined.
3. Air fry. Place the potato wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You will likely need to cook these in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer. Cook for 16-18 minutes, flipping halfway. Remove when crispy around the edges and creamy on the inside. Repeat with remaining potato wedges.
4. Heat all the fries. Add all the steak fries back into the basket (don't worry about a single layer this time) and cook for 1-2 minutes until they're all crispy and heated through.
5. Serve. Season with more sea salt, to taste. These are best served immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.

Note: Cook time may vary depending on which air fryer you are using. Check them at 16 minutes, and if they're still not crispy, continue cooking until they are done.

Variations and Serving Suggestions

I love these Air Fryer Seasoned Steak Fries as is, but here are a few variations and serving suggestions.

Bake in the oven. If you don't have an air fryer, then you can bake these steak fries in the oven. They won't get as crispy baked, but they'll still be delicious. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Bake in a single layer on a large baking sheet for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Serve with fresh herbs. Once these are cooked, top with some fresh herbs, like parsley, rosemary, or thyme.

Top with cheese. Sprinkle some freshly grated parmesan, pecorino, or cotija cheese.

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. These thick cut fries are perfect for dipping. Serve them with ketchup, garlic aioli, sriracha mayo, or honey mustard. I also enjoy serving them with just some mayo with a squeeze of lemon juice and freshly chopped parsley.
