French Fries

These crispy and delicious French fries are perfect for a quick and easy snack or side dish. They are made with simple ingredients and are baked in the oven, so they are healthier than traditional fried fries.

Ingredients:

  • 2 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/4-inch thick fries
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For extra crispy fries, soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. This will prevent the fries from cooking evenly.
  • Shake the baking sheet halfway through cooking to help the fries cook evenly.
  • Serve the fries with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or ranch dressing.

Enjoy!

Here are some additional tips for making the best French fries:

  • Use russet potatoes for the best results. These potatoes have a high starch content, which helps them to become crispy when cooked.
  • Don't overcook the fries. If they are overcooked, they will become soft and mushy.
  • Serve the fries immediately. This will help them to retain their crispiness.

I hope you enjoy these delicious French fries!
