Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a mandoline slicer with a waffle blade attachment, carefully slice the potatoes into waffle shapes, aiming for about 1/4 inch thickness. If a mandoline is unavailable, slice potatoes thinly and turn them 90 degrees to make crisscross patterns manually.
Place the sliced waffle fries into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oiled potato slices and toss again to ensure even distribution of seasoning.
Spread the seasoned waffle fries onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving warm.
