Dry the potato strips thoroughly with a paper towel before tossing them with oil and seasonings. This prevents the fries from becoming soggy.
Use a large baking sheet to ensure the fries have enough space and cook evenly.
Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before baking the fries. This helps them crisp up quickly and evenly.
Toss the fries halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking and browning.
