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