Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Slice them lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to resemble fries.
In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, ensuring they are well coated.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper over the potatoes, and toss again to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them to allow for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through to promote even crisping.
After 25 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 475°F (246°C) and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before transferring to a serving dish.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and toss it with the fries.
If desired, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the fries for added flavor (omit if strictly low sodium). Serve immediately for optimal crunch.
