Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 bottle Olive oil spray
- 1 tablespoon Peri peri seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and wash the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, to form traditional fry shapes.
Place the cut potato strips into a large bowl of cold water and let soak for 10 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and yields crispier fries.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Return the dried potato strips to the bowl. Spray lightly and evenly with olive oil spray, ensuring all pieces are coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the peri peri seasoning, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the fries and toss them to ensure they are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. This helps them cook evenly and become crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the tray and flip the fries over, ensuring even browning on all sides.
Continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a fragrant finish.
Serve immediately as a delicious low-fat snack or side dish alongside your favorite dips or main entrees.
