Oven fries

>>21402640 (OP)
Do people actually?

Didn't have any other means to cook fries without a deep fried (and didn't have a chippy around at the time) now I use an air fryer and I will refuse oven chips.

I like em
It's just a way of cooking potatoes.
If they weren't called "fries" you wouldn't be so mad

Just like boiling a steak is a way of cooking steaks, retard.

>>21402993
>you can't cook potatoes in the oven
You won't win this argument anon

>>21402994
You're just being a contrarian. Nobody with a sane mind chooses to cook fries in the oven.

>>21402993
based of the most retarded kind, best fries I've ever had were oven finished

>>21402996
"Oven fries" are just pre-cooked potatoes.
You're mad because McCain Foods call them "fries", which they are not. Doesn't mean they taste bad.

>>21402640 (OP)
w-why don't you like ovens

>>21402996
I can assure you there were more people in the world making their fries in the oven before air fryers became spread because most people don't bother with deep fryers

>>21402993
Will do tomorrow, so you can cope and seethe. It’s called a Sunday roast, and it’s actually quite good. I do cheat and use a pressure cooker though, which is fine. Real boiled steak dishes do exist, but I’m already making the roast. It’s a Filipino thing I’ve been meaning to try, bistec encebolado, where they basically boil marinated thin sliced steak in a pot under a layer of onions. We do like onions in this household, I do not know why.

>>21403000
you're a retard. McCain pre fries the darn thing so you don't have to. Your fries are still fried fries, you're only finishing them in the oven.

>>21402993
Yeah that's of course completely the same retard.
Maybe want to tell me I should put dry noodles in the microwave
But you know what? You can actually make steak in the oven just fine, because an oven is literally just a shitty air fryer

>>21403073
You got that backwards. An air fryer is a shitty oven. Call me when you can use a broiler in a shit redundant appliance like an air fryer. Those toys are for retards or poors who can't handle the superiority of modern ovens.

>>21402996
before the widespread use of air fryers and high powered convection toaster ovens, regular oven was the best way to cook potatoes for a regular person that doesn't want their entire house to permanently smell like grease

>>21403336
>for a regular person that doesn't want their entire house to permanently smell like grease
Learn to fucking cook Adam

>>21403355
the only way to avoid the issue is to deep fry outside. you can't cheat physics.

>he doesnt know how to use the broiler in conjunction with the oven.

Lol.

>>21403070
Exactly this. I don't know how people are so stupid

>>21403017
stop posting this picture in every single thread you fucking retard.

>>21402640 (OP)
Just make potato wedges at this point, which are better than fries anyways

I do oven fries a lot but they never end up crispy
Ive heard conflicting things on air frying
I only bake because its cleaner and less hassle than frying and getting rid of the oil (inb4 le not my problem)

>>21403587
try buying breaded fries and bake them according to the instructions but use a perforated cooking sheet

>>21403542
okay I guess

>>21404320
If you soak the taters prior to baking, they will come out similiarly crispy to breaded fries. Better for you to.

>>21402640 (OP)
honestly the best way to cook them.
healthy and you can afk while they cook.

>>21402640 (OP)
>takes 30-40 mins to cook them

>>21403068
Shut the fuck up. I don't give two, or even one shits about your boiled steak fetish.

>>21402996
>pls help i have skill issue
your oven chips suck because you a) didn't preheat, or b) didn't baste periodically with extra oil

>>21402640 (OP)
I'm pretty sure every australian family has done this, whether it be frozen chips or potatoes cut at home (probably less so now with air fryers, but still pretty common).

Very few in the past would want to fuck around with a metric shit tonne of oil in the home kitchen when you can dump them on a tray and bake.

>>21402993
Boiled beef tenderloin steaks is a common country French thing

>>21402640 (OP)
>Oven fries
eat em like once or twice per week

just
>wash a bunch of potatoes
>cut in stripes
>toss in Olive Oil + Salt (and sometimes herbs like Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano etc.)
>put in oven for about 40min and turn over half way through
>let them cool a little spread out (dries the crust)
>then put on salt / spices to taste
it's like 5min of actual work, easy cleanup and taste great

>>21402985
air fryers are small ovens has no one taught you this

>>21405242
Maybe in principle. But the fries don't come out half soggy, half too hard.

>>21405242
They're mini convection ovens, and are more concentrated or controlled, you could always buy these as "toaster ovens" the higher end ones did the exact same thing.

Unless you have a really powerfull full sized convection oven you won't get the same result as an air fryer. Although, if you have an electric oven, you can get the same results by buying "coated" frozen fries, and placing them on the bottom rack and cooking them a bit longer than usual.
