French Fries! Oven baked, perfectly golden and crisp and deliciously fluffy and tender inside. Just the way the best french fries should be and without the extra fat from deep frying and without a trip to the drive-thru!
Homemade French Fries
French fries have been a classic favorite for people of all ages for centuries. They're one of the best easy side dishes, and of course they're a staple pairing to a seared, juicy burger.
Generally french fries are made by cutting fresh potatoes into even strips, then they're wiped of moisture or first soaked in cold water to remove the surface starch, then thoroughly dried. From there french fries are usually deep fried in vegetable oil or peanut oil (in one or two step frying process).
But when making them at home I prefer this less messy, healthier, and easier oven baked option. No one will even miss the frying. And you don't get those fast food stomach aches with these (no over-used oil here)!
These are also a great side dish because russet potatoes have a longer shelf life than most vegetables when stored properly (in a cool dry place away from sunlight), so you can always keep some on hand for a simple side dish that both young and old alike will love!
