Best Crispy Seasoned Oven Fries Recipes

HOMEMADE CRISPY SEASONED 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, garlic salt, onion salt, (regular) salt, and paprika 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.

CRISPY SEASONED OVEN FRIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise; cut each half into 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick fries; pat dry with a paper towel. In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs with spices. In another bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy, about 1 minute; add fries to coat. Toss fries in spice mixture until evenly coated. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray; arrange fries on sheet with space in between; spritz fries with cooking spray. Bake, turning once, until fries are golden and crispy, about 20 minutes.

SEASONED OVEN FRIES

Steps:

• Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towel then transfer to large bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients except salt, toss well to combine.
• Meanwhile, line a large baking sheet with foil. Place baking sheet in oven, preheat oven and baking sheet to 375 for 10 minutes.
• Remove preheated baking sheet from oven, pour fries onto baking sheet (being careful not to burn yourself baking sheet will be hot). Arrange fries in a single layer.
• Bake for 45 minutes, raise temperature to 425 and bake for another 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
• Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with salt (this step is optional but I highly recommend it).
• Note: You can flip the fries half way through the cooking process if you'd like. But I don't feel it's necessary, so no flipping here!

CRISPY OVEN FRIES

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 450 degrees.
• Place potatoes in bowl, wrap tightly with plastic, and microwave until translucent around edges, 3 to 5 minutes, shaking bowl to redistribute potatoes halfway through cooking. Transfer potatoes to cooling rack and thoroughly blot fry with paper towels.
• Coat rimmed baking sheet with 5 tablespoons oil. Transfer to oven and heat until just smoking, 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk remaining oil, cornstarch, and salt in large bowl. Add potatoes to bowl and toss to coat.
• Arrange in a single layer on hot baking sheet and bake until deep golden brown and crisp, 25 to 35 minutes, flipping potatoes half-way through cooking time. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate and blot with additional paper towels. Serve.
