Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Low sodium salt (optional)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and slice them into thin, uniform strips about 1/8 inch thick using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for precision.
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 15 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the potatoes in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping. You may need to use two baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through cooking time to ensure even browning.
Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and low sodium salt if desired before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium shoestring French fries with your favorite dipping sauce.
