Air Fryer Steak Fries
Forget the sad, soggy frozen fries—these golden, crispy air fryer steak fries are the real deal. Thick-cut wedges of russet potatoes get tossed in olive oil, a shower of garlic and parmesan, and a pinch of seasoning that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance. They’re perfectly crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and ready in 20 minutes without even turning on the oven.
Why You’ll Love Them
- Crispy without the deep fry: All the crunch, none of the vat of oil.
- Fast & foolproof: 20 minutes to fry bliss—your weeknight hero.
- Endlessly dippable: Ranch, ketchup, or your secret sauce stash.
- Customizable: Spice them up with Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, or a dusting of truffle salt.
Ingredients
- 2 russet potatoes, washed
- 1 tbsp olive oil

- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Slice & prep: Cut the potatoes into hearty wedges and toss them in a large bowl.
