Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes or 1 bag frozen French fries
- Vegetable oil (for frying or baking)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Optional toppings: powdered sugar, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, whipped cream
Instructions
- Wash and peel (optional) the potatoes. Cut into sticks and soak in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
- Fry potatoes at 300°F (150°C) for 4–5 minutes, remove and rest. Increase oil to 375°F (190°C) and fry again for 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy. Alternatively, bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway. Use frozen fries if desired and cook until crisp.
- In a bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
- While fries are hot, drizzle with melted butter and toss gently.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the fries and toss again until evenly coated.
- Serve immediately with optional toppings or dipping sauces.
Notes
- Coat fries with butter while hot to help cinnamon sugar stick.
- Sweet potato fries add natural sweetness and flavor.
- Use crinkle-cut fries for a churro-like texture.
- Serve with chocolate or caramel sauce for dipping.
- Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
