I’d like to introduce you to the perfectly crispy baked fries! I tried so many times to make fries in the oven and it was never just right. Either too soft or too dry. And, finally, I discovered the right combination of heat and ingredients that make the perfectly crunchy and delicious fries. The secret is to pre-soak the potatoes in the water and use just the right amount of oil and seasoning.
