Easy Oven Fries

Save Recipe

The brilliant thing about homemade oven fries is that there is very little fat or oil needed to cook them to get a crunchy tasty result. Pre-cooking the potatoes means you can get ahead of the game and have them ready to pop into the oven to crisp 40 minutes before serving.
