Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 clove Minced garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper (for aioli)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even sticks about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This step helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using clean kitchen towels.
In a large bowl, toss the dried potato sticks with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding the fries.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the fries are baking, prepare the garlic aioli sauce. In a small bowl, mix the low-sodium mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Taste the aioli and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle them with finely chopped fresh parsley for added flavor.
Serve the crispy French fries hot with the garlic aioli sauce on the side.
