Wanting restaurant-style fries but don’t want to venture out of the house? Look no further than this combi oven french fry recipe. The reason restaurant fries are so good is because they go through a two-step process — par-boiling to soften the potatoes followed by a dip in the fryer for crisping. It’s easy to replicate this method at home with the Anova Precision Oven by first cooking raw potatoes at a low heat with full steam, then switching to the air fryer mode. These fries remind me of perfect Belgian frites, which are best when dipped in mayonnaise, but they’re fabulous with ketchup, too. For seasoned fries, add ¼ teaspoon each of cayenne pepper and sugar in step 5.

Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.

Heat: Rear

2. Arrange for First Cook

Place the potatoes in an even layer on the prepared pan.

5. Season

Carefully transfer the fries to a large bowl. Add the oil and salt, and season with pepper to taste. Toss carefully with your hands or tongs until the fries are well coated in the seasonings (see note).

6. Arrange for Second Cook

Replace the foil on the sheet pan with a clean piece. (Fresh foil is important because the first cook released sticky starches, so don’t skip this part!) Spray with the oil spray. Place the fries on the pan in a single layer.
