Perfectly crispy, oil free Thick-Cut Baby Potato Fries are a great way to add variety to how you cook your potatoes! These Thick-Cut Baby Potato Fries pair well with burgers, salads, dips, and more, and they are a hands-free recipe because all you have to do is slice and bake!
While a regular baking sheet can be used, the heavy-duty wire racks allow for an even bake all the way around the potato. This means that the potatoes cook faster, the final result is more crispy than regular baked fries, and there is no stirring of the fries needed! If you need a good, heavy-duty wire rack, I highly recommend this option, and I use mine for potatoes, vegetables, toast and more!
