Crispy Oven Baked Bojangles French Fries Recipes

BEST BAKED FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; spray with cooking spray.
• Place sliced potatoes in a colander; sprinkle sugar over potatoes. Set aside until liquid is released from potatoes, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain liquid and dry potatoes well.
• Mix potato slices, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a resealable bag until evenly coated. Spread coated potato slices in a single layer, leaving space around each potato, on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; flip fries and continue baking until crisp and browned, about 20 more minutes.

CRISPY, GARLIC OVEN-BAKED FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Slice potatoes into strips lengthwise about 1/2" or 1/4" in width. Be careful not to slice potatoes too thin or they will fall apart after par-boiling. However, slices that are too thick will hold less crispy flavor.
• Place potato slices in a pot, and cover with water. Put on stove top to boil.
• Once the water has come to a boil, boil slices only about 3 minutes, or until you can prick a piece with a fork easily but without it breaking apart.
• Drain and dry potatoes. To dry, lay out slices on a clean surface and dab with a clean kitchen towel and repeat for other side. This is important; if potatoes are wet, the starchiness that comes out in the oven will cause the fries to stick to the pan.
• In a big bowl, mix oil, Adobo seasoning, paprika, garlic, and black pepper. Add potato slices and toss gently so that each piece is seasoned.
• On a baking sheet, arrange potatoes flat. If you do not have a non-stick pan, lightly spraying canola oil will help, but the oil from the fries should suffice.
• Bake for about 15 minutes; flip pieces so that the other sides can crisp and brown.
• Bake for another 15 minutes.
• When done, remove from pan to cool and dry on a cookie cooling rack for excess oil to drip away.
