Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly, then pat them dry with a towel.
Slice the potatoes into evenly sized fries, about 1/4-inch thick. Try to keep them as uniform as possible for even cooking.
Place the sliced potatoes into a large bowl of cold water and soak for 20 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the dry potato slices with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Make sure each fry is evenly coated with the spices and oil.
Spread the fries out evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer and not overlapping. Overcrowding can lead to soggy fries.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet and use a spatula to flip the fries over for even browning.
Return the fries to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Remove the fries from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for added flavor and garnish.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
