Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder (unsalted)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder (unsalted)
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes. Leave the skin on for extra fiber and texture, or peel them if desired.
Cut the potatoes into thin, even strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to ensure they cook evenly.
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and soak for 10 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, onion powder, and chili powder. Mix well to form a spicy seasoning blend.
Add the potatoes to the bowl with the seasoning blend. Toss thoroughly to ensure each potato strip is evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potato strips onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding as this will help them crisp up better.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through for even cooking. Bake until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the fries cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-sodium spicy fries as a snack or side dish!
