Perfect Baked Fries
Print Recipe
Baked not fried, these fries are crispy and soul-satisfying!
Ingredients
1
lb
potatoes
any variety but Russets work best due to their low moisture content
2
tbsp
olive oil
1/2
tsp
garlic powder
1/2
tsp
onion powder
1/2
tsp
salt
Optional
vinegar for serving
Instructions
Slice the potatoes into thin fries. Place in a large bowl. Cover with cold water.
Allow to soak for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Drain the fries in a colander. Line the bowl with a clean tea towel.
Dump the fries into the bowl and pat to dry. Try to get as much moisture off the potatoes as possible. Use a second tea towel if necessary.
Remove the tea towel from the bowl and add in the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.
Then stir and bake another 10 minutes or until the fries are a nice golden brown.
Sprinkle with vinegar just before eating!
Notes
Open the oven door a few times while the fries are cooking. This allows the steam to escape and creates a crispier fry.
