Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a baking stone on the middle rack to heat up while you prepare the fries.
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly. Optionally, peel the potatoes if you prefer skinless fries.
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4-inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them crisp up in the oven.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Return the dried potatoes to the bowl and toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Carefully remove the heated baking stone from the oven (use oven mitts as it will be extremely hot).
Arrange the potato sticks in a single layer on the hot baking stone, ensuring they are not overcrowded for the best crisping results.
Place the baking stone with the fries back in the oven and cook for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, use a spatula to flip the fries to the other side. Return them to the oven and cook for an additional 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes. Optionally, sprinkle them with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve the Baking Stone Fries immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
