Has anyone ever cooked french fries in a microwave?

I need some help because I tried and failed. Could it have been the time, or did I place too many into the container I put them in?

    the one way I had success with this is by:

    using the thick/wide frozen fries, sometimes called beefeaters

    puts some right from the freezer onto a plate

    nuke 3 minutes or so, depending on strength of micro

    put some pepper and salt on it, and dip those suckers in mayo or ketchup

    enjoy

    I do it all the time - but I do NOT expect them to turn out crispy. I go from the whole potato - not the bagged kind. I cook them as long as I would the whole potatoes - with garlic salt and butter and sometimes a little paprika. I nuke them 6 minutes on high for every large potato used... never using more than 2 potatoes at a time.

    The conventional oven will make them crispy. The microwave won't - unless you happen to find a frozen brand that advertizes it will microwave them crispy.

    I'm Diabetic - so no more white potatoes for me... only sweet. (Oddly enough, sweet don't run your blood sugar as bed as Irish potatoes.) Both are excellent done up as fries.

    Good luck, hon. Peace.

    A French Fry should be crispy on the outside and baked potato texture on the inside.

    A microwave just won't do it.

    But try some frozen fries and bake in a oven but don't put them on a flat cookie pan. Use a device where you can get the hot air in the oven both through the bottom of the fry and top of the fry to result in more REAL french fry textures.

    I have not but I do believe that if you cook them in the microwave that they will be warm but more hard and stiff than anything. I dont believe they'll be as good as in the oven. The microwave just doesn't work with cooking lol.
