6. Season Immediately
Salt your fries as soon as they come out of the oil — while they’re still hot and slightly glistening. This helps the seasoning stick. Want to get fancy? Try garlic powder, smoked paprika, Cajun seasoning, or even a sprinkle of Parmesan for next-level flavor.
7. Bonus: Bake or Air-Fry?
If you’re avoiding deep frying, you can still get deliciously crispy results with these chef tweaks:
Bake: Toss fries in a bit of oil and cornstarch. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet (don’t crowd them!) and roast at 425°F (220°C), flipping halfway through.
Air-fry: Preheat your air fryer, then cook at 380°F (193°C) for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally.
Final Thoughts
Perfect fries aren’t about luck — they’re about technique. With the right potatoes, a cold soak, double-fry method, and immediate seasoning, you’ll get that crave-worthy crispiness every time.
So whether you’re pairing them with a burger, dipping them in aioli, or just eating them straight from the tray (no judgment), these chef tips will turn your fries from average to unforgettable.
Get ready to fry like a pro — and don’t forget the napkins.
