- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the fries are nicely browned and crispy, remembering to turn them once halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.
- Once beautifully golden and irresistibly crispy, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
