Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large Russet potatoes
- 1 bottle Olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a mandoline with a waffle blade or a specialized crinkle cutter, slice the Russet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick waffle-cut slices.
Place the sliced potatoes into a bowl of cold water and let them sit for 10 minutes. This will help remove excess starch and ensure crispiness.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Spray a light, even coating of olive oil over the slices. Make sure to coat both sides, but do not saturate them with oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the potato slices.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then carefully flip each slice and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the fries from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve plain or with your favorite dipping sauce for a delicious low-fat snack!
