Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick spray.
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes (optional if you prefer skin-on fries). Cut the potatoes into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4-inch thick.
Place the cut potatoes into a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 20-30 minutes. This removes excess starch, which helps the fries turn crispy.
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Transfer the dried potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil, and add salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the fries are evenly coated.
Spread the fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping. Crowding the fries will prevent them from crisping properly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes to avoid burning.
Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an extra pop of flavor.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
