Crinkle Cut Fries
Sometimes a basic fry doesn’t cut it, and that’s when I turn to make homemade crinkle cut fries. I’m telling you the crinkle makes them taste even better. Plus, they can be seasoned how I like and baked to the perfect golden brown.
Servings: 6 servings
Equipment
- 1 crinkle cutter
Ingredients
- 5-6 gold potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions

- Soak the fries in a bowl of water for 20-30 minutes.
- Remove the fries from the water and dry them off with paper towels.
- Toss the fries in olive oil and salt.2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt
- Spread the pieces out in an even layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Do this in batches if needed.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Flip the fries. Then, bake for another 15-20 minutes until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- Add spices before baking for flavor, then finish with salt or flaky seasoning after baking to make the flavors pop.
- Parmesan or herbs are best added after baking.
- To make in the air fryer: Follow the instructions to prepare the potatoes. Arrange the fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if needed, so they are not overcrowded. Air fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy. Add additional time as needed, depending on the thickness of the fries and your air fryer model.
