We wanted a crisp exterior, fluffy interior, and fresh taste that approached that of real French fries—minus the deep-fryer. Steaming peeled, cut potatoes in the microwave before putting them into the oven gave us the fluffy interior of fried fries. This is because as the water in the microwaved potato helps force the potato cells apart, resulting in a fluffy texture.
