  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help remove excess starch and make the fries crispier.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly: This will help them crisp up in the oven.
  • Use a high-quality oil: Olive oil or avocado oil are good choices.
  • Season the fries well: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good options.

  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: This will prevent the fries from cooking evenly.
  • Flip the fries halfway through cooking: This will help them cook evenly.
