Storing Leftovers
While these fries are best enjoyed fresh, you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, spread them out on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven until heated through and crispy again.
Pairing Suggestions
These oil-free crispy fries pair perfectly with a variety of dishes. Serve them alongside veggie burgers, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. For dipping, try ketchup, mustard, aioli, or a tangy yogurt-based sauce.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these fries in an air fryer?
Yes, you can make oil-free fries in an air fryer. Follow the same steps for preparation, then cook in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Why do my fries turn out soggy?
Soggy fries are often the result of not drying the potatoes thoroughly or overcrowding the baking sheet. Ensure the potatoes are dry before baking and spread them out in a single layer.
Can I freeze these fries?
While it’s possible to freeze the fries, they may lose some of their crispiness. If you do freeze them, bake them directly from frozen at 425°F (220°C) until heated through and crispy.
What are the best potatoes for making fries?
Russet potatoes are the best for making fries due to their high starch content, which results in a crispy exterior and fluffy interior. Yukon Golds are also a good option for a slightly creamier texture.
How can I make my fries even crispier?
For extra crispy fries, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the seasonings. This helps create a crunchier coating on the fries.
