Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Thoroughly wash the Russet potatoes to remove any dirt, leaving the skin on to retain nutrients.
Using a mandoline slicer with a waffle or crinkle cut blade, slice the potatoes about 1/4 inch thick. Rotate the potato 90 degrees after each slice to create the waffle pattern.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to ensure they cook evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
While the fries are baking, finely chop the fresh parsley.
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy them on their own as a healthy snack.
