STEAK FRIES / How to make /Perfectly seasoned oven fries

hi everybody i'm rachel from rachel cooks with love in today's video i'm gonna be making some delicious oven-baked steak fries they're big and crispy on the outside and real soft from the inside lots better than frying them not as fattening not as greasy perfect for when you're going to make hot dogs for the family or burgers or you're going to grill steaks outside or just because they are super delicious and easy let's get started now these are the potatoes that i'm going to be using and i try to get them all about the same size now you can use red potatoes the gold potatoes or russet potatoes now i didn't have four gold potatoes that were about the same size and i didn't have four russet potatoes that were about the same size so i got one russet and three of the gold but as long as they're about the same size it'll work out so i'm going to start by cutting them this way right here now i usually just try and get them as best i can right in the middle see now lay them down like this and i'll go right in the middle again and the same with this side now this one i'm going to cut it right in the center just like that and the same with this one like that this one and this one now as you can see they're all about the same and this is the size that i like but you can cut them any size that you want so i'm going to go ahead and do the same to all of them and this is my last one as you can see i've got them all cut about the same so i've got a bowl of water right here i'm going to go ahead and put them into the water so they don't get dark and at the same time they're going to be releasing the starch then we'll be rinsing these i'm going to go ahead and throw this water out because as you can see the water looks real murky i'm gonna go ahead and rinse them two or three times until the water looks a lot clearer so now i'm going to throw this water out and we've rinsed them really well and i'm going to go ahead and fill this bowl up with water and just let them sit there in cold water for just a few minutes while i prepare my seasoning now i'm going to start preparing my seasoning in this bowl i'm going to go ahead and post all the ingredients and amounts right here on the screen and i'm also going to put them below in the description box so you'll know exactly what i used and how much i'm going to start out with my onion powder now my garlic powder i've got some italian seasoning right here my pepper you can use as much pepper as you want this is my chili powder my smoked paprika oh you don't want to leave this out because this is just amazing on these steak fries i've got some breadcrumbs i've got some parmesan cheese now this is the one that you use on your pizza you know that comes in that little tub and then you just sprinkle it all over your pizza that's what this is i just love the taste of parmesan cheese on the steak fries and here's some all-purpose flour and my salt i'm going to go ahead and leave it for last now i'm going to bring it all in together like this see and you want to mix it really really good okay now i've got a big bowl and i'm going to dump all this seasoning into this bowl now i'm going to put in my olive oil just like this and i'm going to dump it in here and i'm going to mix all this up really good together like this now if you have to use a little bit more olive oil you can and i like the olive oil because it's got a high smoking point and i think that's good on the steak fries see okay so i'm going to go ahead and set it aside so here i have my potatoes now i'm going to dry them up really really good i'm just going to use a kitchen towel now you want to make sure that you dry these potatoes really good before you put your seasoning on them you want to make sure that you take off as much of the water as you can you can use a kitchen towel or paper towels whatever you want i just think it's a lot quicker like this so you want to dry them up really good just like this so i've got my potatoes nice and dry took all the water off now i'm going to go ahead and put them into this bowl where i've got my seasoning put them all in here and i'm going to start moving them around like this until they're all coated see i can smell all the ingredients in here it smells so good if you have to put in just a pinch more olive oil you can see i want to make sure that they're real nice and coated like this now i have my salt over here and i usually leave the salt for last i don't want to say put in a lot of salt because i don't want them to be super salty for you but be a little generous so i'm just going to play it by ear and you do the same when you prepare them okay so i'm going to start by just sprinkling in some salt like this as i move them around [Music] and and be sure that you coat them really well like this i've salted them really well moved them all the way around like this and make sure that they all got some salt so you do the same and that's good like this and i've got a cookie sheet right here and i went ahead and put a piece of aluminum foil and i've got my pam spray that i'm gonna spray here and this one is the baking made with flour but you can use the regular pan spray just so happens that i have this one and i like to spray it really well like this i usually use this when i bake cookies or cakes now i'm going to get all my potato wedges and i'm going to put them right here on the cookie sheet now you want to make sure that you give them a little space in between don't get them really crowded because they'll get steamy instead of crispy and you don't want them to get steamy you want them to get nice and crispy from the outside so i usually stand them up this way i think you can see it better like this you see now i like to put my potatoes up this way because then they can get really nice and brown and crispy like this and then the heat just circulates all the way around so i'm going to go ahead and line them all up just like this and be sure that you give them some space in between so that they don't get steamy on you and this is the last one now i'm gonna wash up my hands now i've got my oven set at 400 degrees i'm going to go ahead and bake them anywhere between 40 and 50 minutes and i'll see you in a little bit oh my gosh here they are look at these they are still sizzling hot look at that now as you can see this one fell over and i'm glad it fell over because i want to show you the other side you see what happens when it falls over it gets real toasty that's why i like to keep them up this way because then it's just the bottom that toasts you see and they're perfect out here look at this now i like to get finely finely chopped parsley like this i like to get a little bit and just put it on top i just think it looks pretty i put it on top like that if you're gonna serve it to friends or to your family you can do that you can just put it on top like that it just looks so good now i've got some ketchup and i've also got some ranch dressing because i love ranch dressing see then you can dip it um [Music] oh my gosh they are super delicious and they're beautiful and they're perfect when you prepare burgers for your family or you grill a steak out or you make hot dogs like we are and you prepare these you're gonna thank me for it so these are my beautiful steak fries they are super
