Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for oven fries because they have a high starch content, which makes them crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for fries that are about ¼-inch thick and 3-4 inches long.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the fries from sticking together.
  • Toss the potatoes with oil and seasonings: Use a light oil, such as olive oil or canola oil. Season the fries with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
  • Bake the fries at a high temperature: This will help them to crisp up. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Flip the fries halfway through cooking: This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Serve the fries hot: Oven fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can also top them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Oven fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional French fries. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With the right tips and techniques, you can make perfect oven fries every time. So next time you're craving fries, give oven fries a try!
