Crispy Fries Without Deep Fryer or Oil!

Love fries but want to avoid excess oil and frying?
Good news—you can make crispy, delicious fries in the oven with zero oil and no deep fryer.
This simple and healthy method delivers golden, crunchy fries that everyone will enjoy!

1. Choose the right potatoes

a. Best varieties for crispiness

To get that perfect crisp texture, use starchy potato varieties such as:

• Bintje

• Agria

• Monalisa

These types are lower in moisture and higher in starch, making them ideal for baking.

2. Cut for even cooking

a. Why size matters

Slice your potatoes into thin, even sticks. This ensures even cooking and helps every fry get golden and crispy without burning or undercooking.

3. Prep before baking

a. Soak and dry for best results

Soak the cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, which promotes crispiness. After soaking, make sure to dry them thoroughly with a clean towel.

4. Baking your fries

a. Oven temperature and timing

Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Spread the fries out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper—don’t stack them. Add your favorite seasonings (paprika, garlic powder, herbs…) and bake for 30–40 minutes.

Flip the fries halfway through baking for even crisping on all sides.

5. Pro tip for extra crunch

Before baking, you can lightly coat the fries with beaten egg white. This creates a crisp outer layer without adding fat or oil.

Now you’re ready to serve perfectly crispy oven-baked fries—without oil or a fryer! A healthy twist on a classic favorite, just as tasty but much lighter.
