Homemade Baked French Fries Recipe
These days, most people want to eat healthy and avoid deep fried foods but we all love French fries too much to give them up. These baked fries are the best and so easy to make in the oven. The fries are every bit your plain old fries but they are oven baked, super crispy and so delicious. What’s more, these baked fries are seasoned with salt and vinegar; a bite into it gives you the sour, salty and vinegary taste found in potato chips in a bag!
How To Bake French Fries
Oven baked French fries calls for a two-step process. First, make the salt and vinegar seasoning and bring it to a boil. Next, cut the potatoes into French-fry shape and boil in the seasoning water. Last step is to bake the fries in the oven. The method will ensure that you get the mouth-puckering salt-and-vinegar kick inside the fries. Baking them in the oven will make the fries are extra crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
How Long To Bake French Fries
It takes a total of 30 minutes to bake fries in the oven at 450°F or 232°C. To make sure both sides of the fries are crispy, bake for 20 minutes first and remove the fries from the oven. Turn the fries over and bake for anther 10 minutes. The end results will be golden, perfectly baked fries that are crispy.
Cooking Tips
How to make baked French fries extra crispy? I have these fail-proof tips to share with you.
Use baking sheets and do not cover the sheets with parchment paper. Oil the sheets with vegetable oil and heat the sheets up in the oven until very hot (but not smoking), for 5 minutes. Arrange the potatoes on the baking sheets. The heat of the baking sheets will sizzle and crisp up the surface of the potatoes, making the French fries extra crispy after baking in the oven.
What To Serve With Baked French Fries
Serve the baked fries with a protein-based main entree or Zucchini Dip. For a healthy meal and easy weeknight dinner, I recommend the following recipes. I hope you enjoy this post as much as I do.
