Baked French Fries (Oven Fries)
Description
This recipe uses large baking potatoes cut into fries with skin on or peeled depending on preference. Soaking the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes draws out starch, reducing stickiness and improving crispness.
After drying the potatoes thoroughly, they're tossed with olive oil and seasoned salt or lemon pepper. Baking starts at 375°F to cook the fries through, then the temperature is increased to 425°F to brown and crisp the exterior. This two-step baking method balances tenderness and crunch without frying.
Baked French Fries provide a healthier alternative to deep-fried versions while maintaining appealing texture and flavor. They can be served as a side for burgers, sandwiches, or as a snack with dipping sauces.
Ingredients
- 4 large potato baking variety
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon seasoned salt or lemon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Wash potatoes leaving skin on (you can peel them if you prefer). Cut potatoes into desired size fries.
- Let potatoes soak in cold water in the sink or in a bowl for at least 30 minutes. Remove from water and dry very well.
- Toss with oil and seasonings. Spread evenly in a single layer on a parchment-lined pan.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Turn the oven up to 425° and cook fries until golden, about 20-25 minutes more.
