Steak fries are thick-cut potato slices, typically measuring about 1/2 inch or larger, that are either baked or fried to achieve a crispy exterior and fluffy interior. Originating from American cuisine, they are a popular side dish often served alongside steak, burgers, or other grilled meats. Unlike traditional French fries, steak fries contain less oil when baked, making them a slightly healthier option depending on preparation. They are primarily made from whole potatoes, offering dietary fiber, potassium, and essential vitamins such as vitamin C and B6. However, their healthiness depends on the cooking method and seasoning; frying increases fat and calorie content, while heavy salt usage can contribute to higher sodium levels. To enhance their nutritional value, they can be seasoned with herbs and baked instead of fried. Steak fries are a hearty, satisfying option that provides a balance of indulgence and nutrition when prepared mindfully.
