Make delicious french fries at home without deep frying.
Best Baked French Fries
I tried this recipe recently and these were the best fries ever. Works with sweet potato fries too, my kid's favorite. I think they're better than fried. Only thing I did differently was to soak the potato slices in a bowl completely covered with the sugar water for 20-30 min, then drain and rinse in collander. Also important to pat well with paper towels so they don't go in the oven wet.
Btw, they don't taste like sugar from the soak. I guess that's just supposed to release starch or something. They come out perfect inside.
