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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly-sized sticks or wedges, about 1/4 inch thick, ensuring consistent sizes for uniform cooking.
Place the cut potatoes into a large bowl of cold water. Let them soak for about 10 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potatoes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss well to ensure the fries are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded; use two baking sheets if necessary to allow air to circulate around them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and use a spatula to flip the fries to the other side.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Once done, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or garnish with additional salt and herbs if desired.
