These crispy oven-baked steak fries taste just like the ones you get at a great restaurant. The secret is soaking the potatoes and coating them lightly with cornstarch before baking, which creates a perfectly golden, crispy exterior with a fluffy center. Finished with truffle salt, parmesan, and parsley, they’re the ultimate gourmet fries.
