The Secret of the Best Frozen French Fries

by Leah Schapira | January 22, 2017 | 23 comment(s)

The Secret of the Best Frozen French Fries

You can be a gourmet cook…and still proudly serve the best frozen fries. All you need is a little seasoning.

Some people would start an article like this, “Ok, I admit, I serve frozen French fries [shame face]…blah blah blah….”

I have nothing to be ashamed of. I proudly serve frozen French fries. All the time. I actually keep stacks of bags in my extra freezer, so I readily have them available whenever I need them.

My father’s mother was an excellent cook…really superb and gourmet. Classically Hungarian, she made us arangulashka, tomato-and-rice soup, schnitzel, fushet (meat patties)…and she also prepared lots and lots of frozen French fries. French fries were our Friday lunch with hot dogs. Fries was the side dish during a large family supper (with mashed potatoes of course).

The Secret of the Best Frozen French Fries. You can be a gourmet cook...and still proudly serve the best frozen fries. All you need is a little seasoning.

Pans of French fries and watermelon greeted us when we jumped out of the pool all summer long. Wet and tanned, we ate them summer after summer. My younger sister argued with me that my grandmother had not added onion soup mix to the French fries that she ate, but since she is younger than me, she simply did not realize it. That was the “secret ingredient.” They were seasoned fries, lightly soggy and crispy at the same time…and those frozen French fries were the best we ever had.

    45 minutes seems like way too long in the oven, especially with oil combined. My frozen fries take 12-15min

    The best bagged fries are the McCain’s extra crispy fries..spray a Betty Crocker with oil, put fries in a SJNGLE layer and spray the top then let Betty goooooo…..sprinkle parm and shredded mozzerella last 3 minutes

    Top with garlic mayo, impossible beef crumbs, truffle powder and scallions
