Baked French Fry Crispy Food

BEST BAKED FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; spray with cooking spray.
• Place sliced potatoes in a colander; sprinkle sugar over potatoes. Set aside until liquid is released from potatoes, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain liquid and dry potatoes well.
• Mix potato slices, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a resealable bag until evenly coated. Spread coated potato slices in a single layer, leaving space around each potato, on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; flip fries and continue baking until crisp and browned, about 20 more minutes.

CRISPY SPICY FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Slice potatoes into French fries, and place into cold water so they won't turn brown while you prepare the oil.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• While the oil is heating, sift the flour and spices into a large bowl.
• Gradually stir in enough water so that the mixture can be drizzled from a spoon.
• Dip potato slices into the batter one at a time, and place in the hot oil so they are not touching at first.
• The fries must be placed into the skillet one at a time, or they will clump together.
• Fry until golden brown and crispy.
• Remove and drain on paper towels.

THE BEST CRISPY FRENCH-FRIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cover the potatoes with water.
• In a deep fryer fitted with a basket or a heavy medium saucepan, heat 3 inches of vegetable oil to 340°F.
• Drain the potatoes and pat dry with paper towels.
• Add half the potatoes to the oil and cook until they begin to blister and turn golden, about 15 minutes.
• Shake up the basket every once in a while (not too often - especially in the beginning when the fries are still soft), or run a fork through the saucepan to make sure fries are not sticking together.
• Spread the fries on paper towels to drain and cool.
• Repeat with remaining fries.
• (Fries can be made to this point up to 4 hours in advance of serving).
• Heat the oil to 375°F.
• Add a quarter of the fries and cook until browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Drain on paper towels and repeat with remaining fries.
• Sprinkle with sea salt and some oregano.

BAKED FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes and pat them dry. Slice into 3/8-inch thick French fries by first slicing potatoes into 3/8-inch thick slices and then cutting each slice into 3/8-inch thick fries.
• Place the fries into a bowl, fill with cold water to cover the fries, and let soak for 15 minutes.*
• Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Take the fries out of the water and dry them very well with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with the salt. Toss to evenly coat the potatoes with the oil and salt.
• Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the pan with a bit of room in between each French fry. This helps them to crisp up as they cook.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.

TWICE BAKED FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Spread potatoes on lightly greased jelly roll pan and bake at 375° for 15 minutes.
• Drizzle melted butter over (use more if needed to coat all of the potatoes).
• Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, then add other seasonings as desired.
• Toss together to be sure all of potatoes are coated with butter and seasonings.
• Return to oven until potatoes are crisp and tender.

CRISPY, GARLIC OVEN-BAKED FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Slice potatoes into strips lengthwise about 1/2" or 1/4" in width. Be careful not to slice potatoes too thin or they will fall apart after par-boiling. However, slices that are too thick will hold less crispy flavor.
• Place potato slices in a pot, and cover with water. Put on stove top to boil.
• Once the water has come to a boil, boil slices only about 3 minutes, or until you can prick a piece with a fork easily but without it breaking apart.
• Drain and dry potatoes. To dry, lay out slices on a clean surface and dab with a clean kitchen towel and repeat for other side. This is important; if potatoes are wet, the starchiness that comes out in the oven will cause the fries to stick to the pan.
• In a big bowl, mix oil, Adobo seasoning, paprika, garlic, and black pepper. Add potato slices and toss gently so that each piece is seasoned.
• On a baking sheet, arrange potatoes flat. If you do not have a non-stick pan, lightly spraying canola oil will help, but the oil from the fries should suffice.
• Bake for about 15 minutes; flip pieces so that the other sides can crisp and brown.
• Bake for another 15 minutes.
• When done, remove from pan to cool and dry on a cookie cooling rack for excess oil to drip away.
