Steak Fries

What is the best way to celebrate the Super Bowl? With steak fries, of course!

As Kevin cut up the potatoes, I looked high and low for the paprika. It had gone missing, and did not want to be found. Finally I found the empty bottle next to the grocery list. Uggg... What to do on a Sunday afternoon with no paprika in the house?

We decided that it would be fine to use another spice in its place, and steak seasoning was the one we chose. They turned out fabulous. If you try other spices, let me know so I can try them, too.

Steak Fries
3T olive oil
1 t paprika
1/2 t cumin
1 t salt
1/2 t pepper
4 large baking potatoes
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine everything except the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into quarters, then quarter them again. Coat the potato wedges with the oil and spices, and place on an ungreased pan without crowding. Bake until brown and fork tender, about 40 minutes. Broil for a few more minutes to make them extra crispy; we usually stop when they are light brown.
