Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt-free seasoning blend
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thoroughly wash and scrub the russet potatoes to remove any dirt. You can peel them if desired, but keeping the skin adds extra texture.
Using a mandoline slicer with a waffle blade attachment, slice the potatoes into waffle shapes. If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife, cutting the potatoes into thin, even rounds, but ensure to rotate the potato 90 degrees after each slice to achieve the waffle effect.
Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 10 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch, enabling the fries to become extra crispy.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove all moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the dried potato slices with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and the salt-free seasoning blend. Sprinkle this mixture over the oiled potatoes and mix well to ensure even distribution of the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned waffle fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap. You may need to bake them in batches if necessary.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip the fries using a spatula and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the waffle fries from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a side dish or on their own with your favorite low sodium dipping sauce!
