    Oven baked french fries are crispier than deep-fried french fries. Once you have it! you will love it! and eat again and again. I always make crispy oven fries for my family and especially my son loves to have them. It's a healthy option as compared to deep-fried as it doesn't need much oil to prepare. Even you can make it by drizzling olive oil. Whenever I crave fries, then I bake in the oven and it always makes me happy due to its more crunchy and crisp texture.

    How to Choose Potatoes

    Selecting the right potatoes to make chips or fries is essential as everyone loves to eat crisp texture. Even if you are baking, potatoes' quality and texture make a big difference. I prefer to use Russet potatoes famous as Idaho potatoes in the United States. It has a brown textured little dirty look but the flash is starchy, creamy, and dry. Mostly recommended for baking, frying, and mashing. As a substitute, you can also use Yukon Gold. In the UK, you can take Maris Piper or King Edward.

    Making oven-baked french fries are a super easy and quick idea. For this, just need to cut potatoes in fries shape, wash and tap to dry them. Sprinkle salt and peppers, drizzle oil and mix well. Keep it in a preheated oven for 30 minutes to bake. As it gets nice and crispy golden brown color, take it out! and enjoy with your favorite dip.

    Tips to Make Crispy Oven Fries

    Many people complain that the french fries get soggy and don't show crispy texture. Here are some key tips that will help you to get crispy french fries ever.

    1. Use starchy potatoes for baking.
    2. Always make sure that your potatoes are dry before going into the oven. If the potatoes are wet or showing water then it will form steam that will make them soft.
    3. Always drizzle some oil on potatoes or a baking sheet to maintain a crispy texture while baking.
    4. Never overcrowd the potatoes in your baking tray. Make sure to keep them aligned with some space.
    5. Don't forget to preheat the oven. If the temperature is down in the oven then the potatoes will become soggy.
    6. Always lined the tray with Aluminum foil or parchment paper to avoid sticking on the tray surface.

    Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Place aluminum foil on a baking tray. Drizzle little oil and place your fries on a baking tray. Keep the tray in the oven for 10 minutes.

    How to Store and Freeze Oven Baked French Fries?

    You can place the leftover baked potatoes in a zip lock bag. Keep the bag in the refrigerator. After 01 hour, as the potatoes started to get freeze just shake them so they couldn't clutter/stick with each other. Now freeze the potatoes for 04 weeks. Take it out and reheat it in the oven.

    Best Temperature to Bake French Fries

    Every oven has some variation in terms of temperature. 200°C or 392°F is the best temperature to follow. 

    How to Avoid Soggy Fries?

    Make sure to stay away from water. After washing, take time to dry the potatoes. Dry potatoes are crispier otherwise the water will make them soggy. Don't cover when your potatoes are hot otherwise the heat will convert into water drops that will make the potatoes soggy.
