Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Parsley (optional, fresh or dried)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water. Leave the skin on for extra texture or peel them if preferred.
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized sticks, roughly 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Place the cut fries in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps the fries get crispier.
After 30 minutes, drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and onion powder.
Place the dried fries back into the large bowl and drizzle them with the olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the cornstarch and seasoning mixture over the fries and toss until all pieces are well coated.
Spread the fries in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren’t overlapping; overcrowding will make them less crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet and carefully flip each fry over using tongs or a spatula.
Return the fries to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven and sprinkle with fresh or dried parsley, if desired, for added flavor and garnish.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
