Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for added flavor)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and peel the russet potatoes (optional if you prefer skin-on fries), then cut them into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the potato sticks into a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for at least 10 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them crisp up.
Drain the potatoes and dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Make sure they are completely dry for maximum crispiness.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, paprika (if using), and black pepper to create a seasoning slurry.
Return the dried potato sticks to the large bowl and pour the seasoning slurry over them. Toss well to coat every piece evenly.
Spread the fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other (this helps them crisp up instead of steaming).
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the fries to ensure even cooking. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
