- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- 1

Arrange fries on baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone mats. Make sure to give about an inch of space between each one, if they are too close you'll steam them and they'll be soggy.

Bake at 400F for 8-10 minutes or until golden on the bottom then flip each one over and bake another 8-10 minutes. If you're baking on multiple racks swap places after the flip.
