Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove dirt and pat them dry with a clean towel.
With a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into 1/4 inch thick sticks or fries. Try to keep them as evenly sized as possible for uniform cooking.
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch. Drain the water and pat the potatoes dry thoroughly with a clean towel.
In the same large bowl, add the dried potato sticks. Drizzle the olive oil over them and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, ground black pepper, and onion powder over the potatoes, and toss again to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Spread the seasoned potato sticks out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and flip the fries over using a spatula.
Return the fries to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy, adjusting the time if necessary as oven temperatures may vary.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven once the fries have reached the desired level of crispiness.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the hot fries before serving for a fresh, aromatic touch.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a snack. Enjoy your low sodium crispy baked potato fries with your favorite low sodium dipping sauce.
