How to warm up

To make everything go smoothly, preheat the oven to 230 degrees Celsius.

Then spread the remaining potatoes on a baking sheet, being previously covered with aluminum foil – otherwise the potatoes will stick.

The sticks should lie separately from each other and in no case in several layers.

Optionally refresh the potatoes with spices, herbs and other additives.

The potatoes are heated for about three minutes, but it is important to make sure that they don’t dry out or burn.

After three minutes, check ,how evenly the potatoes are baked, and if necessary, leave it in the oven for another two minutes.

As a result you will have hot and crispy French fries.
