Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Optional chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for a rustic feel, or peel them if you prefer.
Slice the potatoes into evenly sized fries, about 1/4-inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Soak the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch and achieve crispier fries.
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Place the dried potato slices in a large mixing bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and optional chili flakes. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potatoes and toss well to coat evenly.
Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping for even crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through for even browning. Keep an eye on them during the last 5 minutes to prevent burning.
Once golden and crispy, remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your cumin-spiced oven fries with your favorite dipping sauce.
