Oven Fries - CRISPIER Than Deep-Fried

Oven fries that are better than deep-fried? Maybe. Easier and cleaner? Definitely! Thanks to Squarespace for sponsoring this video.

I suppose this is more of a techniques than a recipe. Take whatever potatoes you want. Peel them, or don't. Cut them into fry-like shapes, being sure to get roughly equal thickness, and cut them maybe twice as thick as you want them - they'll shrink a lot during cooking. I do one large Russet potato per person. Boil them until you're afraid they're going to fall apart - I do about eight minutes. Gently drain them and lay them on a pan wide enough to hold them all in a single layer. Drizzle on enough oil to thoroughly coat all the pieces. Shake the pan to coat the pieces and get the fries evenly distributed.
Roast at 450ºF. Check on them after 45 minutes - add more oil if they look dry, and move around any pieces that seem to be cooking unevenly. Roast them some more until they're brown and crispy, maybe another 45 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them - very brown will taste burned. You can pull them when they're still a little floppy, because they will harden as they cool. The ones I made in the video are just a bit overcooked.
Place kitchen towel or a couple layers of paper towel in a large bowl, and dump the fries in. Let the towel soak up the excess oil, and then whip it out. Season the fries in the bowl and then toss. I use coarse salt, pepper, garlic powder, chopped cilantro and grated parmesan.
MY COOKING PHILOSOPHY: I don't like weighing or measuring things if I don't have to, and I don't like to be constantly checking a recipe as I cook. I don't care that volume is a bad way of measuring things - it's usually easier. I like for a recipe to get me in the ballpark, and then I like to eyeball and improvise the rest. If you're like me, my goal with these videos is to give you a sense of how the food should look and feel as you're cooking it, rather than give you a refined formula to reproduce.

[@aragusea]

Q: What do you mean you devised this recipe? I've seen this before. A: Cool! I haven't seen another recipe that applies the par-boiled roastie technique to a fry shape, but I'm not at all surprised to hear that others exist. There's nothing new under the sun. But I did work out the particulars of this one on my own. Totally possible I just reinvented the wheel. Still good fries, though! Q: Have you thought about adding baking soda to the water to make the outside more crispy? A: No, but I'm intrigued. Alkalinity helps with browning. I will say, however, that I'm not sure I would want to accelerate the browning process on these. The interior needs a long cooking time in order to get really soft and fluffy, and I wouldn't want the exterior to get overly brown while I'm cooking the interior. Really dark brown on these tastes burned. Q: Have you thought about roughing up the fries a bit before they go in the oven to get more fluffy exterior that'll go crisp in oil? A: That works great with a more conventional roast potato shape, but these long thin shapes are really delicate when they first go in the roasting tray. That little shake I give them is about all the trauma they can take at that stage. Q: What's up with that thumbnail? A: I thought it was funny and intriguing! (And yeah, maybe I thought it could draw the ASMR crowd...) Q: Have you thought about using a slotted pan? A: I'm intrigued, but would't the oil drip out the bottom? We need that oil. Q: What's up with you having ads now? A: A man has to make a living for his family. Also, Squarespace really is good. squarespace.com/ragusea Q: What's up with two ad breaks per video? A: The particular format of the ads is negotiated on a case-by-case basis with the sponsor. You'll see a different format in next week's recipe. Personally, I like this format, because it discloses the sponsorship arrangement right off the bat, but then gives you some more content before you get to the main ad body. Q: Why was your first talking-head shot out of focus? A: I shoot by myself, and the talking-head shots are tough. I had my camera on face-tracking autofocus, I could see on the monitor that it had zero'd in on my face, but it's not possible for me to see on a tiny monitor halfway across the room if the shot really is in focus. Between this and my day job, I really don't have time to go back and fix stuff unless it's a real disaster. I'm learning every video, though, and I think it'll all keep getting better. The entire reason I started making cooking videos in the first place was to work on my video skills. I'm still pretty new to the medium. Q: Why were some of your shots over-exposed? A: I'm still really struggling with how to light and expose for white ingredients. I'm working on it. Everything looks overexposed on the cheap field monitor I'm using, so that's no help. I've tried using the level meter, but the black table and the white plates just seem to throw it off.

[@Sophie-up4mm]

You can infuse your oil with garlic and herbs (rosemary for example) in a pan. When the mince garlic starts to turn golden you filter the oil and bake the potatoes with it. At the end, you can add the garlic/herbs back (it will prevent them from burning in the oven). It's quick as you can just do it while the potatoes are boillling.

As a Brit, I’m going to chip in (pun absolutely intended). I’ve made these before as chips and they work really well! I’ve also just used it as a recipe for roasties and that works great too! One thing I would recommend though is, halfway through roasting, put a few cloves of garlic and a couple of sprigs of rosemary into the tray, just so the flavour can be absorbed by the oil and be transferred to the potatoes. And the seasoning with Parmesan trick is really good as well, I now do that every time I make roasties. Good job Adam!

I use a fan assisted convection oven, so I made them at a lower temperature. 1 and half hour at 180°C. I flipped them every 30 minutes or so. They came out as shown and they are super crunchy. I think some of them came a little burnt and over crunchy, but that's because I didn't take your advice to cut them evenly. Most of the pieces I made were as you suggested and they came perfect. All in all, I skipped on the cheese but used the same garnishing as you did, and they taste delicious. Spent all the cooking time gaming, so yeah, super great fries with minimum effort.

[@crustyk1ller968]

If you want to know how to improve this recipe. Instead of oil. Use goose fat. If you can buy it over in USA. Over here in England it's very common. Especially at Christmas. Put the pan in the oven with enough goose fat to get about a half inch of melted fat layering the pan. Stick it in for 10 minutes to let it melt and get hot. Better results for all things potato.

@@yee7849 UK TV signals can be picked by any suitably positioned antenna and relayed to a TV. They are not encoded. There are many commercial TV channels broadcast in the UK, along with BBC channels. The commercial channels pay their way with advertising, but the BBC insists you buy a "TV Licence", whatever channels you watch. If you do not watch TV at all you do not need to buy a TV licence, but you are hounded by the company, implying you are breaking the law and they send letters threatening action. You can lawfully own a TV without buying a licence as they are able to receive radio, which you can listen to without having to buy a licence. However, so-called inspectors will visit properties unannounced and try to snoop through windows to see if there is a TV in the house. There is much intimidation and threats, as the company wants to frighten as many people as possible (even those that don't need a licence) to pay for one. Many people consider it extortion and believe the BBC should encode their signals so that IF you want to watch the BBC, you subscribe to it. Much like other products and services. The BBC are terrified that if their traditional funding (ie income from the TV licence) is cut off and people have to subscribe, that their income will plummet and they will have to cut back on their services.

I make them almost like you do. My Uncle who was in the US Navy in the early 1950's learned how a make them while he was stationed on the General A E Anderson which was a troop transport ship. Two small differences. I steam the cut potatoes rather than boiling them and I use a large cast iron skillet with lard for cooking them also at 450 F. I will try it with olive oil as that would be a more healthy option.

Hey Adam, I’m 13 years old and live in Atlanta, just a little north of you. You were one of the people who just got me into cooking with your clever and easy recipes. I just made your fries for my family tonight and I want to say that they were one of the easiest recipes I have ever made and they were absolutely delicious! I used golden potatoes with the skin on for my recipe and they were crispier than most potato chips I eat. We all unanimously agreed that these were some of the best fries we have ever eaten, even compared to deep-fried ones from restaurants. Thank you so much for this recipe, I cannot wait to see what you come up with next! Sincerely, Your friend to the North
