Any tips for making crispy oven-baked fries?

I love fries, but I’ve never been able to get that perfect crisp in the oven. Do you guys have any tricks or secret ingredients for getting them just right without deep frying?

Hi there! You can Heat oven to 350F. Spray or lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil. Remove your side from its container and spread evenly across a baking sheet. Bake for 7 minutes and remove.

Totally feel you on that! One trick that works for me is soaking the fries in cold water for about 30 minutes before baking—it helps remove some of the starch and makes them crispier. Also, tossing them in a little cornstarch with oil before baking really amps up the crunch!
