Crispy Oven French Fry Recipe

This Crispy Oven French Fry recipe uses russet or Idaho potatoes sliced into thin strips and baked at high heat for a golden, crunchy exterior. The fries are dried thoroughly before coating in olive oil to enhance crispness. A simple finish of sea salt adds seasoning, while optional dipping sauces like fry sauce, honey mustard, or garlic aioli complement the fries.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound russet potato or Idaho potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
  • Dipping sauce for serving, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut potatoes into thin, 1/4-inch strips.
  3. Lay potatoes out on paper towels. Use more paper towels to pat the potatoes dry and to remove the starch.
  4. Toss potatoes with olive oil.
  5. Arrange potatoes in a single layer on baking sheet.
  6. Bake, undisturbed, for 15-30 minutes until golden.
  7. Immediately toss with the salt. Serve fresh with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Leaving the potato skins on adds texture and saves prep time, but peeling is optional based on preference.
  • Ensure potatoes are arranged in a single layer without overlapping to promote maximum crispness.
  • Try different dipping sauces like fry sauce (equal parts ketchup and mayo), honey mustard (honey, mayo, dijon mustard), or garlic aioli for variety.
