Ninja Foodi Steak Fries are crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Made with russet potatoes, olive oil, and your favorite seasonings, these homemade steak fries use the pressure cook and air crisp functions for delicious results.
I enjoy making these when we’re craving thick-cut homemade fries. The Ninja Foodi cooks the potatoes until tender, then crisps up the edges for that perfect combination of fluffy centers and golden outsides.

How to Make Ninja Foodi Steak Fries
Cut the Potatoes: Slice the russet potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges.

Serve: Remove the steak fries and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips I Found Helpful 🩵
- Cut the potatoes into even ½-inch wedges so they cook evenly.
- Leave the skins on for extra texture, or peel them if you prefer.
- Stir the fries halfway through air crisping to help them brown evenly.
- Add a few extra minutes of Air Crisp time if you like your steak fries extra crispy.
How to Store Leftovers 🩵
Store leftover Ninja Foodi Steak Fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
Reheat in the Ninja Foodi using Air Crisp at 375°F for 3–5 minutes, or until hot and crispy. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep the fries crispy.
