Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly but leave the skins on for extra crispiness and flavor. Cut each potato into even sticks about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick.
Rinse the cut potatoes with cold water to remove excess starch. Pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potato sticks with olive oil, ensuring each fry is evenly coated.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss everything together until the fries are well seasoned.
Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between each fry to allow for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, flip each fry using a spatula, and return them to the oven.
Continue baking for another 15 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle fresh rosemary over the hot fries, tossing to evenly distribute.
Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
