1. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut those halves into 1/2 inch thick wedges.
2. Fill a large bowl with cold water. Add the fries and soak for at least 20 minutes (or up to overnight if you want to cook later). Drain and pat dry.
3. Add the fries, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt and black pepper to a large bowl. Toss to coat.
4. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C).
5. Place an oven safe rack onto a large baking sheet (this set is perfect). Arrange the fries in a single layer on the rack.
6. Bake steak fries in the oven for 45-55 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are soft on the inside and crispy on the outside.
7. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) for 2 minutes.
8. Place the steak fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. (Work in batches – do not crowd the basket.)
9. Air fry for 16-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
10. Optional: Once the batches are finished, place all the fries back into the air fryer for 2-3 minutes, to reheat and crisp up again.
