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.

OVEN BAKED GARLIC AND PARMESAN FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place the potatoes in a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Season with garlic, thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt. Toss until evenly coated. Lift the fries out of the bowl and spread onto a nonstick baking sheet in a single layer. Save the remaining oil in the bowl.
• Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through baking. Return the fries to the bowl with the olive oil, sprinkle with 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and parsley. Toss to coat, then spread again onto the baking sheet. Return to the oven, and bake until the Parmesan cheese melts, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle the fries with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt to serve.

BUTTER-GARLIC OVEN FRIES WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Soak the potato wedges in a bowl of water for 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and then fully pat them dry with paper towels or a lint-free dish cloth.
• Layer a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons oil and generously sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Add the potatoes to the pan and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and spread them evenly in a single layer on the pan. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the bottoms are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook until the other side is golden brown, another 10 to 13 minutes.
• In a small saute pan, melt the butter with the garlic and let the garlic gently cook over medium-low heat until fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes.
• When the potatoes are cooked, toss them with the garlic butter and fresh herbs.

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.

GARLIC "FRIES"

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Heat the garlic and oil in a small saucepan over medium heat for 2 minutes. Strain the garlic from the oil with a small mesh strainer. Set both garlic and oil aside.
• Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch sticks. In a large bowl, toss the oil, potatoes and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and spread the potatoes onto it in a single layer. Bake until golden and crisp, about 35 minutes.
• Remove potatoes from the tray with a metal spatula. Toss with parsley, reserved garlic, and additional salt, to taste. Serve immediately.

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.
