Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Scrub and wash the russet potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if desired, but leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients.
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized matchsticks, about 1/4-inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the fries are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Finely mince the fresh garlic cloves and set aside.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have space between them for optimal crisping.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the tray and flip each fry to promote even browning.
Sprinkle the minced fresh garlic onto the fries and return the tray to the oven. Bake for another 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Once cooked, remove the fries from the oven and sprinkle with additional salt, to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
