Crispy Oven Baked French Fries
This crispy oven baked French fries recipe is a delicious alternative to the frozen French fries sold in grocery stores. There are no additives or preservatives added when you make homemade fries at home.
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs golden yellow potatoes about 4 medium size
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil divide in half
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Wash the potatoes under cold water, then slice them about 1/4 of an inch thick. You can peel the potatoes before slicing them if you prefer.
- Put the sliced potatoes in a large bowl. Cover the potatoes in the bowl with cold water from the tap. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- Use a colander to drain the water from the potatoes. Put the potato slices on a paper towel or cloth towel and pat them dry.
- Rinse and dry the bowl, then put the potato slices back into the bowl. Coat the potatoes with half of the olive oil.
- Spray a little bit of non-stick cooking spray on a cookie sheet, then spread the other half of the olive oil on the cookie sheet.
- Place the potato slices on the cookie sheet in a single layer.
- Sprinkle the seasonings on the potato slices.
- Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 28 minutes. Use heat-resistant oven mitts to turn the fries over halfway through the baking time.
Notes
- The position of our oven rack was three rack guides up from the bottom.
- Since ovens can vary slightly in temperature, keep an eye on the French fries while baking in the oven, especially during the last few minutes.
- If you want your fries extra crispy, add a few minutes to the baking time.
