BAKED FRENCH FRIES

If every baked French fry you've ever eaten has been a soggy disappointment, then this recipe is for you. The key to achieving perfectly crisp "fries" is heating your sheet pan in a 500-degree oven for a good 10 minutes. When you toss the potatoes onto the blisteringly hot pan, magic happens: The potatoes sear and develop a truly crunchy crust. In terms of seasoning, we keep it simple with just salt and pepper, but feel free to experiment with adding a bit of chili or garlic powder, smoked paprika or cayenne to the mix.

BAKED FRENCH FRIES

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Slice the potatoes into a french fry shape. Toss in a bowl with the olive oil to lightly coat. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet, so that the fries are spread evenly.
  • Bake until golden brown, turning over halfway through, 25 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes. Russet potatoes are the best choice for baked french fries because they are low in sugar and high in starch, which makes them crispy when baked.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before baking. This will help to remove excess starch and make the fries crispier.
  • Toss the potatoes with oil, salt, and pepper before baking. This will help them to brown and season evenly.
  • Bake the fries at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius) for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the fries immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Baked french fries are a healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried fries. They are crispy, flavorful, and easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious side dish that everyone will enjoy.

So next time you're craving fries, give baked french fries a try. You won't be disappointed!
