Ingredients
4 medium Russet potatoes
-
2 tablespoons Primal Kitchen Pure Avocado Oil
1½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
½ tsp ground black pepper
-
Primal Kitchen Special Sauce
-
Primal Kitchen Organic Unsweetened Ketchup
-
Primal Kitchen Mayo
FOR SERVING
Directions
Preheat oven to 425ºF.
Place a large pot of water on the stove over high heat. While it comes to a boil, prepare the potatoes: Wash potatoes well and dry them with a clean kitchen towel. Cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch wedges and place in a large bowl. Cover with cold water and let sit for 10 minutes.
Drain the potato wedges.
Once the water comes to a boil, add 1 teaspoon salt, then slide the potato wedges into the boiling water. Cook for 5 minutes.
Remove the potato wedges from the boiling water with a slotted spoon and place on clean kitchen towels. While the potato wedges air dry, place an unlined, dry baking sheet in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, gently blot off any excess moisture on the potato wedges. Place the dried potato wedges in a large bowl. Douse potato wedges with avocado oil and sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. Gently toss to coat.
Carefully arrange the seasoned steak fries in a single layer on the hot baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove and use a spatula to flip the steak fries over, scraping any bits off of the baking sheet.
Return to the oven for another 15 minutes. Remove and toss again with the spatula. Test for doneness — they should easily pierce with a fork. Continue baking in the oven in 5-minute increments until cooked through and crisp to your liking.
Remove from oven and transfer to serving platter. Optionally sprinkle with more salt. Serve with ramekins of ketchup, mayo, and Special Sauce, or choose your favorite dipping sauces. Enjoy!

How to Make Crispy Oven-Baked Steak Fries
Short of deep frying, achieving perfectly done steak fries at home can be a challenge. If you simply slice the potatoes and bake them on a baking sheet, you won't get that desirable crispy exterior and soft, steamy interior. But these two tips will let you master the perfect fy:
-
Soak or rinse the sliced potatoes, and parboil them. Soaking or rinsing the sliced steak fries helps wash away the surface sugars on the potatoes. A quick boil in salted water can help ensure the fries cook all the way through when they're crisping in the oven.
- Preheat the oven and heat up the baking sheet before baking the fries. Heating the oven and baking sheet thoroughly before putting the fries on the baking sheet and in the oven hits the potatoes with even heat that will help the fries crisp evenly.
