Enjoy a healthier version of your favorite fries with this easy baked recipe.
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking and crispiness.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Try to keep the strips uniform in size for even cooking.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.
Adding salt to the water enhances the flavor of the potatoes.
Boil the potato strips for 3 minutes, then drain them in a colander.
Parboiling helps to soften the potatoes and reduces baking time.
Transfer the drained potatoes to a mixing bowl, add olive oil and salt, and toss to coat evenly.
Ensure all potato strips are lightly coated with oil for a crispy texture.
Spread the potato strips in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Keep an eye on the fries during the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.
Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
