Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch thick sticks to create fries.
Transfer the cut potatoes into a large bowl and soak them in cold water for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to ensure they are as dry as possible.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to make the spice blend.
Place the dried potato sticks back into the large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the spice blend over the potatoes and toss again until the fries are evenly coated with the spices.
Arrange the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not too crowded to allow even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Once baked, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, if using, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
