cooking spray
6 Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into thick fries
1 tablespoon white sugar
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder, or more to taste

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: Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Idaho potatoes for crispier fries. Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes are good for softer fries.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: For uniform cooking, cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces. A mandoline slicer can help achieve this.
  • Soak the potatoes: Soaking the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes removes excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly: Pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel before frying or baking. Excess moisture can make the fries soggy.
  • Use high-quality oil: Opt for oils with a high smoke point, such as canola, vegetable, or peanut oil. These oils can withstand high temperatures without burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying, avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking. Fry the potatoes in batches if necessary.
  • Season the fries: Generously season the fries with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices before baking or frying.
  • Bake at a high temperature: For crispy baked fries, bake them at a high temperature (425°F or 220°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Broil the fries: For extra crispy fries, broil them for a few minutes at the end of baking, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
  • Serve immediately: French fries are best served hot and crispy. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

With careful attention to detail and the right techniques, you can create delicious and crispy French fries at home, whether you prefer them baked or fried. Experiment with different potato varieties, seasonings, and cooking methods to find the perfect combination that suits your taste. So, grab your favorite potatoes, gather your ingredients, and embark on a delightful culinary journey to make homemade French fries that will impress your family and friends.
