Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin fries of about 1/4 inch thickness for optimal crispiness.
Pat the cut potatoes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps in achieving crisp fries.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chili powder.
Toss the cut potatoes in the bowl with the spice mixture until all fries are evenly coated with the spices and oil.
Spread the seasoned fries evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for even cooking.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the fries are baking, chop the fresh cilantro and set it aside. Cut the lime into wedges.
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
Transfer the fries to a serving dish, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
