Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Leave the peel on for extra texture and flavor, or peel if preferred.
Cut each potato into thick wedges: first slice the potato in half lengthwise, then lay each half flat-side down and cut into 4-6 wedges depending on the size of the potato.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture well to create the seasoning blend.
In a separate small bowl, toss the cornstarch with the potato wedges until evenly coated. This step ensures extra crispiness in the final fries.
Add the wedges to the bowl with the seasoning mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the spiced oil.
Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don't overlap for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the wedges using a spatula. Return to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove the fries from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired for garnish.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy on their own as a bold and flavor-packed side.
