How long should you cook fries that are labeled as "light"?

Cooking fries labeled as "light" generally indicates that they are pre-cooked or have been partially fried and require less cooking time than traditional fries to reach the ideal crispness and temperature. Typically, cooking them for 2 to 2.5 minutes allows them to achieve a golden-brown color and a crispy texture without overcooking.

Fries that are pre-cooked may contain less moisture and fat, and therefore, they can cook more quickly than standard fries. Cooking them for a shorter duration, within the range of 2 to 2.5 minutes, ensures they are heated thoroughly while maintaining their intended texture.

In contrast, options suggesting longer cooking times would likely lead to overcooked or burnt fries, diminishing the quality and potentially affecting the taste. Hence, the chosen cooking duration aligns well with recommended practices for the specific type of fries being prepared.
