# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • If you’re craving fries that stay crisp on the outside and tender inside, this is the trick you’ll want to know.
  • The smoky chipotle aioli brings a kick that transforms an everyday side into something almost addictive.
02 -
  • Trying to cram too many fries into the basket at once leaves you with limp, uneven potatoes—be patient and batch cook.
  • Letting the fries rest for just a minute before serving keeps them from steaming in their own heat and losing that crunch.
03 -
  • Avoid shoestring size cuts or the fries will dry out instead of crisping—the sweet spot is about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Give the baskets a shake at least once during cooking for perfectly even browning and crisp edges.
