Crispy Baked French Fries

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Baked French Fries.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 425°F (220°C).

2. Step 2

   While that’s warming up, grab a baking sheet and line it with aluminum foil.

3. Step 3

   A quick spray of cooking spray will help keep those delicious fries from sticking.

4. Step 4

   Next, take your freshly cut potatoes and place them in a colander.

5. Step 5

   Sprinkle a little sugar over them and let them sit for about 20 to 30 minutes.

6. Step 6

   This step is key, as it helps draw out excess moisture, ensuring your fries turn out perfectly crispy.

7. Step 7

   Once the time is up, give the potatoes a good drain and gently pat them dry with a clean towel.

8. Step 8

   Now, let’s add some flavor! In a resealable plastic bag, toss in the dried potato slices along with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of garlic powder, salt, and a dash of black pepper.

9. Step 9

   Seal the bag tightly and give it a good shake until every slice is beautifully coated.

10. Step 10

    Spread those seasoned potato slices out in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave a little space between each fry for optimal cooking.

11. Step 11

    Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let them bake for 20 minutes.

    After that, it’s time to flip those fries for even crispiness.

    Bake for another 20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and irresistibly crunchy.
