Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them into sticks about 1/4 inch thick, like traditional French fries.
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl and cover them with cold water to prevent oxidation and remove excess starch. Soak for at least 15 minutes, then drain and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create the seasoning mixture.
Add the dried potato sticks to the large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil seasoning mixture over them. Toss the fries well to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to allow each fry to crisp up evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, flip the fries using a spatula and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low sodium seasoned French fries as a delicious and healthy side dish!
