[LifeStyle] How to Make French Fries

[RAIDEN ™]

Put a baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 °F (204 °C). According to Chef Ollie George Cigliano,"leftover [crispy] fries freeze beautifully and bake off well in the oven," so this method works well for baking fries from scratch or from reheating previously fried and frozen french fries. Place a rimmed baking sheet into the middle of the oven. Then, turn the oven on so it preheats and the sheet gets really hot.[1] When you place the french fries on the hot sheet, they'll immediately begin to crisp up.

Peel 2 1⁄2 pounds (1.1 kg) of russet potatoes if you want crispy fries. Rinse about 5 large starchy potatoes and peel them. Although you can leave the peels on, the fries will be slightly chewier than if you'd peel them.[2] Don't peel the potatoes in advance or they'll begin to brown.
Cut the potatoes into 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) sticks. Place the peeled potatoes on a cutting board and cut them lengthwise into 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) thick slices. Lay the slices flat and cut them lengthwise again into 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) thick sticks.[3] If you prefer even crunchier french fries, you can cut them into 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) thick sticks. Since they're smaller, reduce the cooking time by 5 to 8 minutes.
Toss the french fries with olive oil and salt. Get out a large bowl and put the french fries into it. Drizzle 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil over them and sprinkle over 1 teaspoon (5.5 g) of sea salt. Use your hands or large spoons to toss the fries so they're coated in the oil and salt.[4] The oil prevents the fries from sticking to the sheet. It also helps them become crunchy as they bake.
Arrange the fries on the hot sheet. Put on oven mitts to remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Then, spread the seasoned french fries on the sheet so they're in a single layer. If you forgot to preheat the sheet, you can still spread the fries on a cold baking sheet.
