Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 grams Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Wash and peel the potatoes unless you prefer to keep the skin on for added texture and nutrients. Cut the potatoes into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to resemble traditional fries.
In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, making sure each piece is lightly coated. This helps to ensure they turn crispy in the oven.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the potato strips. Toss again until the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Spread the potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they’re not overcrowded. This allows them to bake rather than steam.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking and browning.
Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven. Let them cool slightly and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately while hot, optionally with low-fat ketchup or a yogurt-based dip.
