Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole large russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and dry them with a clean towel. Leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
Using a mandoline slicer with a waffle blade attachment, carefully slice the potatoes into waffle shapes. Alternatively, you can hand-cut the shapes by slicing the potato horizontally, rotating it 90 degrees after each cut to achieve the crisscross effect.
Place the sliced potatoes into a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil, tossing them until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes and toss again to ensure even distribution of the seasonings.
Spread the seasoned potato slices onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then carefully flip each fry over using a spatula.
Continue baking for another 15 minutes or until the waffle fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or snack, and enjoy your low-fat homemade waffle fries!
