Crispy Oven French Fry Recipe
Description
Crispy Oven French Fry Recipe centers on russet potatoes cut into thin 1/4-inch strips, dried to remove excess starch, and tossed with olive oil before baking at 450°F. Baking the fries undisturbed on parchment lined sheets in a single layer ensures crisp, evenly cooked fries with golden edges. After baking, a sprinkle of sea salt adds the final touch, enhancing the natural potato flavor. The method avoids deep frying for a less oily but still crispy result.
The fries have a crisp exterior and tender interior, achieved through proper drying and spacing on the pan. Optional dipping sauces such as Utah's fry sauce (ketchup plus mayo), honey mustard, or garlic aioli further highlight the fries.
The recipe suggests serving the fries warm with your choice of dipping sauces. Leaving the skin on adds texture and saves prep time but peeling is optional. Careful arrangement on the baking sheet maximizes crispness by avoiding overcrowding.
These fries can be customized with sauces provided, and taking the time to pat the potatoes dry is key to achieving a crunchy finish without deep frying. Using parchment paper aids even cooking and cleanup.
