Special Precautions and Tips:
- For extra crispy fries, soak the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes before baking. This helps to remove excess starch, which can lead to soggy fries.
- If you don't have Old Bay seasoning, you can substitute your favorite Cajun or Creole spice blend.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing.
