Safely store your delicious homemade fries to enjoy their crispy perfection later. Proper refrigeration and freezing techniques ensure optimal flavor and texture, minimizing food waste.

Storage Time

Homemade fries are best enjoyed fresh, but cooked fries can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. For longer storage, freezing is an option, preserving quality for up to 2-3 months.

Temperature

Store cooked fries in the refrigerator at or below 4°C (40°F).

Freezing

To freeze homemade fries, allow them to cool completely. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to an airtight freezer bag or container. This prevents clumping and helps maintain their texture. To reheat, bake from frozen at 200°C (400°F) for 10-15 minutes until crispy, or reheat in an air fryer. Note that texture may be slightly softer than freshly made fries.

Signs of Spoilage

Unpleasant, sour, or rancid odor.
Slimy or sticky texture.
Visible mold growth, often appearing as fuzzy spots of various colors.
