Steak Fries

Do you want to put a vegetable on the table that your children will actually eat? There is hardly a kid in the world that does not enjoy a nice fry now and then, but you don’t have to head to your local greasy diner in order to get one. Instead, try this simple recipe for Steak Fries, and watch your kids gobble them up. Also, if you want a more adult friendly version, go ahead and chop up a bit of garlic to mix with these fries.

You Will Need: approximately eight large potatoes (Yukon Golds work well here); sea salt; black pepper; olive oil; and paprika.

To Make: Slice the potatoes (with skins on) into large wedges (make sure that they are large enough to grasp easily). Place cut potatoes in a large bowl with the sea salt, pepper, ¼ cup of olive oil and paprika (all to taste). Toss the entire mixture lightly. Spread the potatoes onto a large cookie sheet, and place in a 400 degree oven for approximately 15 minutes. Take the potatoes out of the over when they are slightly crispy. Allow the wedges to cool for a few moments, and then serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

You can make these potatoes to go along with any main dish, and your children will delight in having their own, healthy, fries. If you are feeling extra adventurous, go ahead and mix up some honey mustards and barbeque sauces for your family to dip in – in fact, you can serve these with home made chicken fingers, and allow your kids to dip away. Nothing beats fries, and it can’t get any better than a home made steak fry.
