    The key for crispness is the fries should go straight from the freezer to the oven (preheated) between 375 to 425, top shelf. AVOID thawing fries (this is how fries do not turn out crispy). Also, place the fries in a single layer and don't crowd them. Toss the fries once or twice for even crispness and golden brown color. Use a thick commercial style pan (the rectangular flat aluminum type.....non stick works really well if you have one to use). Bake for approx. or up to around 15 min's.

    You may also experiment and do a test a batch by putting it under the broiler for 8-10 minutes (put it on the highest rack, closest to the heating element)....again, single layer & don't crowd the fries. This is another way you're able to get crisp & golden brown fries, but you really have to keep an eye on them (broilers can burn the fries quickly too).

    Experiment and see which works best for you.

    If you have a convection oven, temp. is much much higher and it bakes alot quicker too (I don't have too much experience with using a convection oven).

    Hope this helps.

    well just make sure not to invite people that start conflict, becasue ive argued with people and been to dinners where people argued, and that is prolly the biggest dinner killer. when u have a nice dinner and everyone leaves happy, u have a sense of pride like it was ur doing and ull feel good inside, i know that sounds gay, but ive gone through that. for dinner heres one of my fav recipies use fresh everything here no cand crap 2 (12 ounce) packages frozen French cut green beans 8 ounces crimini mushrooms, quartered 3 tablespoons butter, divided 1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 pinch ground black pepper 1/2 cup milk 1 cup sour cream 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1 (2.8 ounce) can canned French fried onions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place green beans into a saucepan and fill with about 1/2 inch of water. Bring to a boil and steam until beans are tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes. Drain and toss with the mushrooms. Set aside. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and parsley; cook and stir until onion is tender. Whisk in flour until blended, then mix in the lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly, so that no lumps form and then stir in sour cream. Warm over medium heat until the sauce begins to bubble. Dump in the green beans and mushrooms, stirring to coat. Remove from the heat and toss briefly with some of the Cheddar cheese and French fried onions, saving some of each to sprinkle over the top. Spoon into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and top with the reserved onions and cheese. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese melts, about 15 minutes. this is prolly my favright casarole, i have pride in making it myself :D

    This is what I did the night before our early T-day. Clean and dice potatoes for masheds, put them in a bowl of cold water in the fridge. Juice lemons if needed. Lay out bread cubes for stuffing to get day-old bread. Chop as many veggies as you can and put them in ziplocks. Make the dessert and/or dip. Lay out the table setting. Lay out all the utensils you'll need the next day, like measuring cups, cutting boards, knives, pots, pans, baking dishes. You can even put the water in the pot and cover it for the night. That way all you have to do in the morning is walk in your kitchen and you're prepped and ready to go! Oh, and make a list the night before. Like "Put out 2 pounds of butter to soften, start the potatoes at *whenever*". It really works to keep thing organized.

    I bake them for the time on the bag but for that last 3-2 minutes I put them under the broiler. BUT WATCH THEM CLOSELY!!! Golden brown and black come pretty quick when broiling.

    Toss them in a baggy with oil and seasoned salt and they should turn out crisp and brown.

    Probably check them pretty often. And don't pay a lot of attention instructed on the box, they aren't usually right.
