Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 4 cups Cold water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the russet potatoes (optional if you like skin-on fries), then cut them into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4-inch thick.
Place the potato sticks into a large bowl and submerge them in cold water. Let them soak for 15 minutes to remove excess starch, making them crispier when baked.
Drain the water and thoroughly pat the potato sticks dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensuring they're completely dry is crucial for crispiness.
In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and cornstarch. Mix well.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potato sticks and toss them until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potato sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. This allows for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then flip the fries using a spatula and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the fries cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy your fat-free seasoned French fries with your favorite dipping sauce!
