You’re Going To Love These Crispy Baked French Fries!

We make tons of oven fries. TONS.

Also we love buffalo anything. Even the boys. There’s a wing sauce called Texas Pete’s, it has a mild wing sauce variety I usually grab for the boys and they love it. You could always do half mild, half spicy.

And the best part about these Buffalo Fries is that they’re oven baked – not fried. I know, I’m finally not frying something that’s actually supposed to be fried.

How Do These Baked Fries Get Crispy?

But I’m telling you, you won’t miss the deep fry at all. These Buffalo Fries are really crispy and browned from cooking them at a high temperature. Make sure your oven is clean for this one or you’ll be calling the fire department…or at the very least setting off a bunch of your smoke alarms.

After you slice up the potatoes you just need to soak them in cold water for about 15 minutes. Dry them off really good drain the water from the bowl and put the fries back in.

Toss them with the garlic powder, salt and olive oil then put them on parchment lined baking sheets. You’ll probably need two pans so they can sit in a single layer.

Turn them halfway through cooking and when they’re done put them back in that big bowl. Toss with buffalo sauce and then they go back in the oven for 5 minutes – just to set the sauce.

What Toppings Or Dipping Sauce Go With These Fries?

After you toss with the buffalo sauce, before you put them back in the oven you could add any toppings you might want like mozzarella cheese or scallions, but I kept mine plain.

Serve these Buffalo Fries with a quick blue cheese sauce for dipping and you’ve got a fries that are not only good but good for you.

OK not like carrot sticks good…but you know what I mean. These aren’t “fried” so that’s basically like health food.
