CRISPY BAKED FRENCH FRIES - FRESH OR FROZEN
Steps:
- Start with a couple of medium russet potatoes (about one pound). That will make four servings. Preheat oven to 425° convection. If you don't have convection, you can use 450° or stay at 425°, and it will take a bit longer.
- Scrub the potatoes and if using russet potatoes, peel the potatoes. Cut your fries 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick. I suggest a mandoline, but a knife will do.
- Place in cold water in a large bowl and soak for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Drain, rinse the fries with cold water several times, place them on a paper towel and dry well.
- Dry the bowl, put fries back in, and stir with about a tablespoon of oil.
- Prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil and a rack. Spray with PAM. Spread the fries on a prepared rack. Do not overlap, but they may touch a little. Give a light sprinkle of coarse salt.
- Bake until golden brown-about 30 minutes. Season again while still hot.

Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 450 degrees.
- Place potatoes in bowl, wrap tightly with plastic, and microwave until translucent around edges, 3 to 5 minutes, shaking bowl to redistribute potatoes halfway through cooking. Transfer potatoes to cooling rack and thoroughly blot fry with paper towels.
- Coat rimmed baking sheet with 5 tablespoons oil. Transfer to oven and heat until just smoking, 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk remaining oil, cornstarch, and salt in large bowl. Add potatoes to bowl and toss to coat.
- Arrange in a single layer on hot baking sheet and bake until deep golden brown and crisp, 25 to 35 minutes, flipping potatoes half-way through cooking time. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate and blot with additional paper towels. Serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are ideal for crispy oven fries because they have a high starch content, which helps them to crisp up nicely. If you don't have Russet potatoes, you can also use Yukon Gold or red potatoes, but they may not be as crispy.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: Cutting the potatoes into even-sized pieces will help them to cook evenly. If the pieces are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not get crispy. If the pieces are too thin, they will cook too quickly and may burn.
- Soak the potatoes in water: Soaking the potatoes in water for 30 minutes before cooking will help to remove excess starch and make them crispier. Be sure to drain the potatoes thoroughly before cooking.
- Use a nonstick baking sheet: A nonstick baking sheet will help to prevent the fries from sticking and burning. If you don't have a nonstick baking sheet, you can grease a regular baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before adding the fries. This will help to ensure that the fries cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Don't overcrowd the baking sheet with fries. If the fries are too close together, they will not cook evenly and may become soggy.
- Flip the fries halfway through cooking: Flipping the fries halfway through cooking will help them to brown evenly.
- Season the fries: Season the fries with your favorite seasonings before serving. Some popular seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Conclusion:
Crispy oven fries are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect crispy oven fries every time.
