Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and dry them with a clean kitchen towel. Leave the skin on for extra crunch and nutrition.
Using a waffle cutter or mandolin slicer with a waffle blade, slice the potatoes about 1/4 inch thick. To create the waffle shape, rotate the potato 90 degrees between each slice.
Place the potato slices in a large bowl and add the olive oil. Toss well to ensure all the slices are coated evenly.
Add salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss the fries again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overlapping for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip the slices over, and bake for another 15 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
Remove the waffle fries from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy the crispy texture and flavorful taste of homemade Chick-fil-A style waffle fries.
