Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Optional: Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized matchsticks or wedges, about 1/4 inch thick.
Submerge the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 10 minutes to remove excess starch and help them crisp up better.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potato pieces with olive oil, sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are well coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between each piece for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy as a side dish or snack.
