Recipe FAQs
Russets are great potatoes for making homemade French fries. You need a potato that has a high starch, so you get the crispy outside and fluffy potato center.
Pat dry your fries and then season well. You will find even if you bake the fries, spritzing with oil and then adding seasoning is going to create a great base to allow the fries to get golden brown. Or you can deep fry for a crispy texture.
There is no dip that is not an option. Dip in ketchup, aioli, ranch dressing, cheese sauce, mayo and BBQ sauce mixed, gravy, and more. You are going to find you can whip up any sauce of choice.
Yes, fries are gluten-free; watch whatever you pair with it. If you use gravy or something along that line, make sure it is gluten-free.
