Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thoroughly scrub the russet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt, leaving the skin on for added fiber.
Using a mandoline or a waffle fry cutter, slice the potatoes into waffle shapes. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix into a seasoning paste.
Add the sliced potatoes into the bowl and gently toss until all slices are evenly coated with the seasoning paste.
Arrange the seasoned potato slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping for maximum crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then carefully flip each slice over using a spatula.
Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the tray from the oven and let the fries cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top before serving to add freshness and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy Chick-fil-A style waffle fries as a delightful side or snack.
