¨Better than Fried¨ Oven-Baked Crispy French Fries Recipe (2024)

All Recipes, Tapas / April 28, 2020

There is nothing better than comfort food. Well, except for guilt-free comfort food 🙂 . Folks, these ¨Better than Fried¨ Oven-Baked Crispy French Fries are just that. The french fries have an incredible crispy texture, they´re easy to make and yes, you can eat them like there´s no tomorrow.

Seriously, these french fries are so good they will blow you away. You can serve them as a side dish or even as an appetizer. This recipe makes 4 portions, but in all honesty, in my house the french fries flew off the plate within minutes. So if you love fries like we do, make a double batch.

To make these french fries, I used yukon gold potatoes. But you can use any type of potatoes you like. I also like to leave the skins on the potatoes, as it gives these homemade fries that rustic texture. But again, if you prefer, you can peel them.

TIPS & TRICKS to make this Recipe: The secret here is to soak your cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This is what helps remove some of the starch from the potatoes, which gives them that crispy texture. In my oven, they where perfectly cooked in 30 minutes, but every oven heats differently, so keep an eye on the potatoes after 25 minutes.

Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:
EXTRA VIRGIN SPANISH OLIVE OIL
SPANISH SEA SALT
