Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the potatoes and cut them into matchstick-sized strips.
Place the potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 30 minutes. This helps to remove some of the starch and gives a crispier texture.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not touching each other for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the fries are baking, prepare the garlic aioli sauce: in a small bowl, combine non-fat Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic cloves, lemon juice, and chopped fresh parsley. Stir until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. This helps them crisp up further.
Serve the crispy fries warm with the prepared garlic aioli sauce on the side for dipping.
