Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Dried parsley
- 4 cups Water
Instructions
Start by washing the Russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.
Peel the potatoes if desired, then cut them into thin, even slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl filled with 4 cups of water to soak for at least 10 minutes. This will help remove excess starch and result in crispier fries.
While the potatoes soak, in a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and dried parsley. Mix well to create your seasoning blend.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. Any excess moisture will prevent them from becoming crispy.
Add the olive oil to the potatoes and toss until every piece is well coated.
Sprinkle the seasoning blend over the potatoes, tossing again to ensure the seasoning adheres evenly to each fry.
Spread the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to facilitate easy cleanup.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet and flip the fries over using a spatula. Return the sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the fries from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve the low sodium papas fritas immediately as a tasty and healthy side dish or snack.
