But you don&#8217;t have to stop at salt when it comes to seasonings\u2014you can also add freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, freshly minced or dried parsley, or a little grated Parmesan cheese. Or play around with fancy flavored salts, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/TRUFF-Truffles-Specialty-Seasoning-Experience\/dp\/B0BG9BNZDW\/ref=asc_df_B0BG9BNZDW\/?tag=hyprod-20&#038;linkCode=df0&#038;hvadid=632902240005&#038;hvpos=&#038;hvnetw=g&#038;hvrand=1020154317958869558&#038;hvpone=&#038;hvptwo=&#038;hvqmt=&#038;hvdev=c&#038;hvdvcmdl=&#038;hvlocint=&#038;hvlocphy=9023221&#038;hvtargid=pla-1900663263116&#038;psc=1\" data-name=\"www.amazon.com\/TRUFF-Truffles-Specialty-Seasoning-Experience\/dp\/B0BG9BNZDW\/ref=asc_df_B0BG9BNZDW\/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=632902240005&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=1020154317958869558&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9023221&amp;hvtargid=pla-1900663263116&amp;psc=1\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">black truffle<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake the fries:<\/strong> Not feeling the fryer or want to limit your oil intake? You can also bake these fries in the oven. Preheat the oven to 425\u00b0, and toss the previously soaked and dried fries in some oil and seasonings. Then, spread the fries evenly across a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until crispy, 25 to 30 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use an air-fryer:<\/strong> Preheat your air fryer to 380\u00b0, toss the soaked and dried fries in oil and salt, and work in batches (you want one even layer on the tray, with no fries overlapping). Cook each batch for 14 to 16 minutes, turning halfway through, until they&#8217;re golden brown and crisp.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store and Reheat French Fries<\/h2>\n<p>In the off chance you have any leftovers, place the fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for one to two days. When you&#8217;re ready to reheat them, allow them to return to room temperature (about an hour) so that they reheat evenly. Then, place them in a single layer (work in batches if needed) in a lightly oiled skillet on medium heat. Toss and turn the fries occasionally until crisp.<\/p>\n<h2>French Fries Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1911544 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Homemade-French-Fries-FT23_40268_ST_0719_5.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Homemade French Fries\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What is the best frying oil for homemade french fries?<\/h3>\n<p>Select a neutral oil (so that it doesn&#8217;t impart unwanted flavors) with a smoke point at or above 350\u00b0. The smoke point is the temperature at which the oil begins to break down and smoke, which can negatively impact the taste of your finished product. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-oils-frying\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-oils-frying\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best oils for frying<\/a>\u00a0include peanut, canola, vegetable and safflower.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the best potatoes for homemade french fries?<\/h3>\n<p>Choosing a high-starch potato\u2014such as Idaho or russet\u2014is crucial because they are dense and have less moisture so you won&#8217;t end up with soggy fries on your plate. When it comes to fries, not all potatoes are created equal.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you have to soak the potatoes when making french fries?<\/h3>\n<p>Technically, you don&#8217;t <em>have<\/em> to, but you&#8217;ll want to because the cold bath removes the starch on the exterior of the potatoes, which will result in crispier fries. Plus, this makes them less likely to stick together.<\/p>\n<h3>How thick should fries be cut?<\/h3>\n<p>Aim for 1\/4- to 1\/2-inch-thick slices. And do your best to keep them uniform in size so they cook at the same rate. You can make thicker fries, but you&#8217;ll need to increase the cooking time accordingly.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you skip double-frying the french fries?<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s always best to double-fry because this method ensures a soft interior and a crispy exterior. The first fry is done at a lower temperature to cook the inside, then the higher-temp second fry crisps the edges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homemade french fries are so much better than those from a drive-thru.
