How To Make Longhorn Steakhouse Fries

Prepare the Potatoes – Fresh russet potatoes cut into fries, ready for soaking.

Step One: Wash, peel, and cut the russet potatoes into evenly sized fries. Soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Step Two: Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F for 5 minutes.

Season the Fries – Fries tossed with olive oil and seasoning mix in a bowl.

Step Three: Drain and pat the fries dry with a paper towel. Toss them in a bowl with a light spray of olive oil and coat them in the seasoning mix (salt, paprika, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and coriander).

Air Fry the Fries – Fries placed in the air fryer basket, ready for cooking.

Step Four: Place the seasoned fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches. Set cook time for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even crisping.

Step Five: Once the fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce!

Serve – Golden, crispy fries served with a dipping sauce on a plate.

Longhorn Steakhouse Fries Recipe Tips

  • Soak the Potatoes – Soaking the fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Basket – When using the air fryer, cook the fries in batches to ensure they cook evenly and stay crispy.
  • Season Immediately – Toss the fries in the seasoning mix while they’re still hot for maximum flavor absorption.
  • Use Olive Oil Spray – Lightly spray the fries with olive oil for even crisping without excess grease.
  • Customize the Seasoning – Adjust the seasoning to your taste—add more cayenne for heat or extra garlic powder for richness.
  • Shaking the Basket – Shake the fries halfway through cooking to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.
  • Check for Doneness – Keep an eye on your fries in the last few minutes of cooking to avoid over-browning.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftover LongHorn Steakhouse fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in the air fryer at 375°F for 5-7 minutes for crispy results.

What To Serve With Copycat Longhorn Seasoned Fries

Copycat LongHorn Steakhouse fries are the perfect side dish to complement a variety of meals. Serve them alongside juicy steaks, grilled chicken, or burgers for a classic combo, or pair them with fresh salads for a lighter option.

Copycat Longhorn Seasoned Fries Recipe Faqs

Can I use a different type of potato? While russet potatoes are ideal for fries due to their starch content, you can also use Yukon Gold potatoes for a slightly creamier texture.

Can I make these fries in the oven instead of the air fryer? Yes! Preheat your oven to 425°F, spread the seasoned fries on a baking sheet in a single layer, and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.

How do I get my fries extra crispy? Make sure to soak the potatoes before frying or baking to remove excess starch, and avoid overcrowding the fryer or baking sheet to ensure even crispiness.

Can I make these fries ahead of time? You can prep the fries by cutting and soaking them in advance, but it’s best to cook them fresh for the best texture. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the air fryer.

Can I adjust the seasoning? Absolutely! Feel free to increase or decrease the amount of spices like cayenne for more heat or garlic powder for extra flavor.
