How to Make Crispy French Fries in the Oven
French fries are always the best side to make at home with your meal! We mostly make them with grilled hamburgers or sloppy joes. They are actually super easy to make in the oven! They come out crisp and fresh every time!
It’s important to always soak your potatoes right after you cut them or they will turn a brown color!
How to Cut Potatoes into French Fries
First peel the potato (you can leave skin on if you prefer). Slice off one side of the potato and place it down flat so it doesn’t move. Cut strips all the way across. Then stack the slices and thinly cut french fries. Place in a bowl of water.
You need to flip them half way through the cooking process to evenly get them crispy.
How do you reheat french fries in the oven? Pre-heat your oven to 400-425 degrees F. Cover your cookie sheet with tin foil and put in the oven as it preheats. Take it out and and lay the french fries in an even layer. Bake for 4-5 minutes until crispy and golden.
