Crispy Oven Baked French Fries

potatoes

olive oil

tbsp finely chopped chives

salt

Preheat

Clean potatoes and cut lengthwise into quarter-inch slices. Cut quarter-inch sticks from each of those slices and place in a medium pot. 

Parboil

Place potato sticks in a pot. Cover with cold water and add about 2 to 3 teaspoons of salt. Bring the potatoes to a boil for 3 minutes. Drain the water and ensure the fries are completely dry using a clean towel.

Season

Return the potatoes to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat and transfer to a baking sheet.

Bake

Bake for 20 minutes, then flip and bake for an additional 10 minutes. (If necessary, bake the oven fries for additional time, in 3-minute intervals, until golden and crispy)

Serve

Once the fries are done, place in a bowl and season with additional pinch of salt and the chives. Serve with mayo and/or ketchup.

Oven Baked French Fries

Crispy Seasoned French Fries

russet potatoes

rice flour

tsp salt

tsp red chili powder

garlic powder

paprika

Vegetable Oil (for frying)

Peel and slice potatoes lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices. Stack a few and cut into strips. Place in a bowl with water. Soak 15 minutes.

Heat oil to deep fry potatoes. Drain potatoes and place them on a cloth, pat dry. Do this in batches. Place dried potatoes in a bowl and add salt, chili powder, garlic powder and paprika. Mix well. When oil is hot (350 F/180 C) and you are ready to fry - take the amount of potatoes that will fit into your pot at one time and place in a bowl. Sprinkle some of the rice flour to coat. Place coated fries gently in hot oil and fry for about 2 minutes until golden to golden brown. Drain on a paper towel lined plate. Keep coating small batches of seasoned potatoes in rice flour and fry. Serve with ketchup.

You can master perfect, crispy Homemade French Fries (baked or fried) right from your own kitchen with this fool-proof recipe and tips!

Homemade French Fries

lbs Russet Potatoes (, (about 3 medium)

vegetable, canola or peanut oil

Salt and black pepper

Wash the russet potatoes and remove any bruises.

Cut the potato lengthwise into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thin slabs then cut the slabs into 1/4 inch thin matchsticks. Try your best to cut the potato into uniform slices to ensure the fries cook evenly.

Soak the potatoes. Put about 3 inches of water in a large pot and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, remove from the heat and place cut potatoes in the hot water to soak for 30 minutes. This is essential to remove some of the starch from the potatoes which will help them crisp while cooking.

Drain the water and lay potatoes out onto paper towels, patting them until thoroughly dry.

Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Drizzle oil over the potatoe and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Spread out into an even layer on a baking sheet (I use one bakers half sheet pan per 1 cut potato), leaving space between them. Bake for 12 minutes.

Use a metal spatula to scrape potatoes loose from pan and flip to opposite side. Spread even spaced out again. Bake for an additional 8-15 minutes, or until potatoes are crisp.

Baked French Fries:

Pour 3 inches of vegetable, canola, or peanut oil into a large, deep pot and heat to 300 degrees F. Cook the fries in small batches, adding them to the hot oil, until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Remove them to a paper-towel lined plate as they cook.

Increase the heat of the oil to 400 degrees F. Return small batches at a time to the oil and cook for 1-3 minutes, until golden and crisp. Remove from oil and season with salt, to taste.

Serve with dipping sauces like fry sauce, ranch, bbq sauce, chick-fil-a sauce, tartar sauce, or serve on top of a burger, with fish and chips or Lomo Saltado.

Fried French Fries:

These are great!   I used convection bake and they turned out perfect.   Everyone loved them.  You have to try this recipe !

Very delicious! I always struggle making fries but this recipe was great. Came out crispy and well cooked.

Everything was perfect except, in the air fryer, I had to set it at 380° instead of 360°

I’ve made these potatoes twice now and must say they are the best French Fries I’ve made at home.  Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.  Highly recommend.
I finished mine in the oven both times.  I’m trying the air fryer next time.

I am new to the Air Fryer, but this recipe has me convinced! These were by far the best non-restaurant fries that I have ever hard. Way better than any store bought fries. I also loved how you can adjust the crispiness to liking. Thanks for all the great recommendations!
