When to enjoy potato wedges

These guys are ravenous after their games and it’s all too easy to hit fast food on the way home.  But I’m trying to remember that I’m the adult and need to set a good example, so we’re working hard at making better choices.  And just because they’re better for you doesn’t mean they’re any less delicious!

How many potatoes per person for steak fries?

We roasted one Russet potato per adult and a half a potato per kid.  The process could not be simpler.  Cut a potato into wedges, add some oil and seasoning, then roast.  Wham, bam, eating fries.  Don’t forget the ketchup!

I drizzled our olive oil, but if you have an oil mister or cooking spray, it would allow you to give them a thinner more even coat.  That said, ours still turned out great.  No complaints from the peanut gallery on this one.

How do you make steak fries crispy?

The trick to getting evenly roasted steak fries without having to watch and flip them halfway is to cut the potatoes into true wedges (so the skin side has the most surface) and place them on the baking tray skin side down.  It’s a genius trick that I cannot (and will not) claim to have come up with on my own.

What to serve with potato wedges?

These go wonderfully with a hearty meal like broiled flank steak, or instant pot st. louis ribs, or ranch crack chicken. Serve alongside some classic coleslaw, shaved brussel sprout salad, and cold broccoli salad. Top it all off with a delicious dessert of easy banana pudding and cherry jello cookies.

Tools we love

• Santuko knife – My favorite knife for cutting vegetables!  This knife is the perfect size and shape, handles great, and is super reasonably priced.  Also, I just love that it’s fun and colorful!
• Oil mister – This is the perfect gift for folks who want to make sure they know exactly what they’re spraying on their pans.  We like to put olive oil in ours, but you could use anything from vegetable oil, grapeseed oil, avocado oil, or whatever you like!  Just pump the top a few times and it sprays a fine mist of the oil you chose.
• Bakers half sheet – It’s cool, we only have about six of these bakers half sheets because they’re good for absolutely everything.  Cookies? Yes! Steak? Yes! Cake? Oh yeh! Roasted veggies? Uhhhh huh!

My kids are active and awesome.  We do piano, soccer, football, playdates, school – it feels like we never stop moving and because we’re on the go all the time, I find that it’s really easy to fall into the trap of relying on quick but unhealthy fast foods.

Case in point, one of our favorite post game treats is french fries.  Now, potatoes in and of themselves aren’t unhealthy. They’re full of vitamins and nutrients that are great for growing children.

But when we grab the ones from the drive-thru that are deep fried in who-knows-what because it’s just easier. Well, maybe not my best decision ever.

So this week we decided to try our hand at making some really simple (but still totally delicious) steak fries at home.  They came out great and everyone agreed that they were the perfect treat!
