How to Make Baked French Fry Crispy

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Lightly spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking oil.
  3. Arrange frozen french fries in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves minced fresh garlic), 1/4 cup half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the french fries.
  6. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the fries are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly, checking the bottom frequently for desired crispiness.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the bottoms of the fries are golden brown and extra crispy. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
