Open in Pepper →Crispy Fries Without The Deep Fryer
A pan of hot, salty fries makes almost any dinner feel finished. No pot of oil, no splatter on the stove — just potatoes, a little oil, and a hot oven or air fryer basket.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when the main dish is handled and the side is still a question mark: burger night, breakfast-for-dinner, a rotisserie chicken from the store.
Every recipe here is a fry or a wedge you can make in your own kitchen, from Air Fryer French Fries and Crispy Air Fried Potato Wedges to Sweet Potato Fries, Garlic Parmesan Fries, Old Bay Seasoned Oven Baked French Fries, and Crispy Baked Zucchini Fries.
Quick Tips
- 1
Soak the potatoes first
Cover cut russets with cold water for 30 minutes, then dry them well. Rinsing off the starch is what gets the outside crisp instead of gummy.
- 2
Dry them completely
Pat the sticks with a clean towel until no water beads up. Wet potatoes steam in the oven and never brown.
- 3
Give them room
Spread fries in a single layer with space between each one, using two pans if you need to. Crowding traps steam and turns them soft.
- 4
Salt right out of the oven
Toss with salt or Old Bay in the first minute or two while the surface is still hot and slightly oily so the seasoning sticks.
