Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin, even sticks to resemble classic fries. Aim for about 1/4 inch in thickness.
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for about 10 minutes to help remove excess starch. This step helps achieve crispier fries.
While the potatoes are soaking, prepare the Peri Peri seasoning mix. In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil. Mix well.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large bowl, toss the dried potato sticks with olive oil, making sure each piece is well coated.
Add the prepared Peri Peri seasoning mix to the bowl with the oiled potatoes. Toss again to ensure even coverage of the spices on the potatoes.
Spread the seasoned potato sticks in a single layer on the lined baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap as this helps them cook evenly and become crisp.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet and flip the fries using a spatula to allow for even cooking on both sides.
Return the fries to the oven and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.
Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with lemon juice for a tangy kick.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for an added burst of flavor and color.
