- Toss the fries around, recoating them in the Oil. Back into the oven for 5 minutes. Then every few minutes, toss to recoat, for a total cook time of 30 minutes or until crisp to your liking. If there are additional seasonings going on the Fries, add them in when the Fries are crisp to your liking, strain out excess fat first. Add the seasoning and toss, place back into the oven just for a minute or so.
- With the same bowl you had the Fries in, place the strainer or sieve on top and empty the Fries into the sieve to drain off any excess fat. Optionally, plate on paper towel to soak up any excess Fat. Serve right away.
