Baking Tips

Use thick-cut fries for best results - they hold toppings better

Don't skip seasoning the fries before baking

Make sure fries are fully cooked before adding toppings

Work quickly when adding toppings so fries stay hot

Watch carefully under broiler to prevent burning

Serve immediately for best texture and temperature

Pre-cook any raw vegetables before adding as toppings

Use a pizza stone for extra crispy bottom if available

Don't overload with sauce or fries will get soggy
