Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the potatoes, and then cut them into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the potato sticks in a bowl of cold water to soak for about 5 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, ensuring each piece is lightly and evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss to coat them evenly.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Flip the fries with a spatula to ensure even browning and return them to the oven.
Continue baking for another 15 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the hot fries for garnish.
Serve immediately as a tasty low-fat side dish or snack.
