    Crispy Oven Baked Fries

    Published: Apr 27, 2021 by Janessa

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Crispy and simply seasoned, these baked fries are the perfect side to Barbecued Burgers, Chimichurri Chicken Sandwich, ribs and so much more!

    Making fries from scratch is super easy- all you have to do is cut the potatoes, season and bake. And since they are baked with little oil and salt, they are much healthier than those you would find at a restaurant or that come from a package.

    Fries - The Nessy Kitchen

    The Ingredients

    • Potatoes- This recipe should work with most types of potatoes but I find either Russets or Yukon Golds give the best results. Or you can try swapping in sweet potatoes. I usually don’t peel the potatoes but you can if you prefer.
    • Olive oil
    • Sea salt
    • Black pepper
    • Garlic powder

    The Method

    1. Cut the potatoes into ¼-½ inch sticks, depending on your preference. Thinner fries will cook a bit faster so be sure to check them a few minutes early.
    2. Toss potatoes with oil and seasoning and place on the oven rack.
    3. Bake for 20 minutes and serve hot!

    Leftover Storage

    Fries are best consumed fresh. However, if you have leftovers you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or for best results, in the oven at 350 F for 5-10 minutes. They won't be as crispy but they'll still be tasty.

    How to Serve Baked Fries

    Try these as a side to:

    • Simple Barbecue Burgers
    • Pork Banh Mi Burgers
    • Pulled Pork
    • Grilled Turkey Pesto Sandwiches
    • Chimichurri Chicken Sandwiches
    BBQ Burgers

    Dietary Notes

    If you have dietary restrictions, be sure to check any packaging of specific ingredients that you use are compliant. As written, this recipe is naturally:

    • Dairy Free
    • Gluten Free
    • Nut Free
    • Vegetarian
    • Vegan

    Tips and Tricks

    • If you don't have an oven rack, you can bake right on the baking sheet. At the half way point, you will need to flip the fries over and then continue to bake. They might stick, so you will need a good spatula to be able to flip them.
    • If you have a convection oven, baking at 450 F on the convection setting yields even better results!

    Prep Time: 10 minutes
    Cook Time: 20 minutes
    Total Time: 30 minutes

    Calories: 196kcal

    Ingredients

    • 1 lb potatoes about 2 medium
    • 1 teaspoon olive oil
    • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 450 F. Line a large baking sheet with an oven safe cooling rack.
    • Scrub the potatoes and peel (optional). Slice into ¼-1/2 inch thick sticks and place in a mixing bowl.
    • Toss potato sticks with olive oil and seasonings until evenly coated. Place on the rack on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced.
    • Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. (If your oven has a convection option, using it will result in even crispier fries).
    • After 10 minutes, rotate the baking sheet 180 degrees and then return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until the edges are lightly browned and the fries are crispy.
    • Serve immediately.

    Notes

    This recipe can easily be doubled. You'll need a second baking sheet and rack.
    If you don't have an oven safe baking rack, you can make these right on the baking sheet. At the half way point, you will need to flip the fries over and then continue to bake.
    Substitutions:
    Potatoes- I find Russet and Yukon Gold potatoes make the best fries but any type will work!
    Leftovers:
    Fries are best consumed fresh. However, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven at 350 for 5-10 minutes. They won't be as crispy but they'll still be tasty.
