Part 3/8:
To achieve the crispiest fries, several cooking methods have been tested, each with varying results.
The Basics: Standard Baking
Simply placing your frozen fries on a cookie sheet and baking them as per the instructions yields acceptable results; however, this tends to leave the fries soggy and far from crispy.
Preheating the Cookie Sheet
A slight improvement comes from preheating the cookie sheet while the oven is warming up. This technique jump-starts the cooking process, allowing for increased crispiness without much extra effort.
