Ingredients for Easy Fries Twist

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Potatoes: Use russet potatoes for the best results as they are starchy and yield a crispier texture.
Olive Oil: Helps to achieve that golden-brown color and adds flavor to the fries.
Salt: Essential for enhancing the natural flavors of the potatoes.
Paprika (or other seasonings): For an extra kick and added flavor. Customize it to your taste!
Fresh Herbs (optional): Chopped parsley or cilantro can be added for garnish and freshness.

How to Make Easy Fries Twist

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into long thin strips and carefully twist each strip into a spiral shape.
In a large bowl, toss the twisted potato strips with olive oil, salt, and paprika (or your preferred seasonings) until evenly coated.
Arrange the twisted fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a couple of minutes, then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Tips for Making Easy Fries Twist

Cut Uniformly: Ensure the potato strips are cut evenly for consistent cooking and crispiness.
Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Give enough space between the fries on the baking sheet to allow airflow, which contributes to crispiness.
Experiment with Seasonings: Don’t be afraid to try different herbs and spice blends to customize the flavor of your fries.

Make-Ahead Instructions

You can prepare the twisted fries in advance. After twisting them, toss them in the oil and seasonings and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
If you prefer, par-bake the fries for about 15 minutes, let them cool, then store them in the fridge. Re-bake them right before serving for a fresh taste.

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftover Easy Fries Twist in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.

Freezing Easy Fries Twist

For freezing, prepare the fries, twist them, and then freeze them on a baking sheet until solid. Transfer to a zip-top bag for long-term storage.
Label with the date, and they can be frozen for up to 3 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Reheating Easy Fries Twist

To reheat, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 10-15 minutes until they are heated through and crispy.
Alternatively, you can reheat in an air fryer at 350°F (180°C) for about 5-7 minutes for an extra crispy finish.

FAQs

Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?

Yes! Sweet potatoes make a great alternative and provide a different flavor profile, plus they’re healthier!

Can I cook these fries in an air fryer?

Absolutely! Just toss them in a little oil and place them in the air fryer basket, cooking at 380°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes.

How do I keep the fries crispy?

Make sure they are spaced out on the baking sheet and allow them to cool completely before storing leftovers to prevent steam build-up that makes them soggy.

Can I add cheese to these fries?

What seasonings work best?

Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, Italian herbs, or even a spicy seasoning blend for a kick!
