These crispy oven baked fries are the perfect accompaniment to any meal. They take a little time to prepare but they are totally worth it. These fries are a little healthier than your typical deep fried french fry. This is because they use a lot less oil to prepare. They’re crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside.
The method of soaking the potatoes in cold water beforehand removes some of the starch from the potatoes which yields a crispier fry. What’s not to love about crispy fries? After the potatoes are done soaking, it’s important to pat them completely dry. We don’t need any extra moisture on the fries before the go in the oven. Before baking, it’s important not to overcrowd the pan so that the fries will get crispy. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
While the potatoes are baking, it's important to prepare the garlic aioli. It's super simple to make. You just mix the mayo, garlic, and lemon juice together. It's important to use fresh lemon juice because it really highlights the flavor of the garlic. Place the aioli in the fridge while the potatoes are cooking.
