Have you ever wondered how to make crispy baked french fries without them burning? Here’s my trick to the ultimate french fries recipe without going near a deep fryer!
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 40 minutes
- Total Time: 50 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large russet potatoes*
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- sea salt, to taste
- optional: herbs for flavoring like rosemary, thyme or herbes du provence
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Cut potatoes into fries about a 1/4 inch thick.
- Add fries to a bowl and coat with avocado oil.
- Spread out fries onto TWO parchment or silicone lined baking sheets. Do not overcrowd or attempt to fit all onto one tray.
- Sprinkle each tray with sea salt and herbs if using.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove trays from oven and flip fries. Swap racks trays were previously on and return to oven for 15 minutes.
- Flip fries once more and return to oven for 5-10 minutes depending on how crispy you like them. This time will vary as everyone’s bakeware, oven and potatoes are different.

*Use russet or yukon gold for the best texture. I personally prefer russet.
