Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin, even sticks resembling fries, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric powder, paprika, chili powder, and salt, mixing until well blended.
Add the potato sticks to the bowl with spiced oil and toss them thoroughly to ensure even coating.
Spread the seasoned potato sticks onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through to achieve crispiness on all sides.
Once golden brown and crispy, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving to add a refreshing touch.
Serve immediately alongside your favorite dipping sauce.
