- What kind of potato should I use when making french fries?
- Russet potatoes are the best potato to use when making french fries!
- How thick should I cut potatoes to make french fries?
- Yes! I found that by cutting the potatoes into 1/2-inch wide, 1/4-inch thick slices as long as the length of the potato yielded the best results.
- Should I use aluminum foil or parchment paper when baking fries?
- Parchment paper all… the… way!! I have found parchment paper to be superior in all things baked and crispy. And they won’t stick the way they will on aluminum foil.
- Does it matter how I layer the fries?
- Absolutely. If you layer the fries in a single layer, meaning no overlapping fries!, you will get perfectly crispy french fries every time.
- Is it necessary to flip the fries while baking?
- If you leave the garlic fries in the same place throughout the entire baking process half of the fries will be super crispy and the other side will be ultra soggy. So yes, it is necessary to flip the fries halfway through the baking process for the most evenly crisped Parmesan garlic fries.
