FAQs About Baked Parmesan Fries
1. Why are my baked fries not crispy?
Overcrowding the tray or using too much moisture (e.g., excessive oil) can prevent crisping. Spread them evenly in a single layer and bake at high heat for best results.
2. Can I make these fries ahead of time?
Yes! You can slice and season the potatoes ahead of time. Store them in the fridge until ready to bake.
3. How do I store leftovers?
Store leftover fries in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5–7 minutes.
4. Can I air-fry these instead of baking?
Absolutely! Air-fry at 200°C (400°F) for 15–20 minutes, shaking halfway through.
5. Can I use frozen fries instead of fresh potatoes?
Yes! Simply toss frozen fries with mayonnaise and Parmesan, then bake as directed.
