Crispy Oven Fries

Two simple steps make oven fries properly crispy: soaking the cut potatoes to remove surface starch, and drying them thoroughly before they hit a hot pan.

Instructions

  1. Cut. Cut the potatoes into ¼-inch sticks; there's no need to peel.
  2. Soak. Soak in cold water for 30 minutes.
  3. Heat the oven. Heat to 450°F with a large baking sheet inside.
  4. Dry and coat. Drain and pat completely dry. Toss with the cornstarch, then the oil, salt and garlic powder.
  5. Bake. Spread in a single layer on the hot pan, leaving space between fries. Bake for 15 minutes, flip, then bake 10 to 15 minutes more until deep golden.
  6. Finish with a pinch of salt and serve immediately.

Tips for Success

  • Use two pans if they don't fit in a single layer. Crowded fries steam instead of crisp.
  • Serve with our Easy Burger Sauce.
