Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into 1/4 inch wide sticks for even baking.
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This will help remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine the dry potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Evenly spread the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring minimal overlap for even browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After that time, carefully flip the fries using a spatula and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
Serve the crispy baked fries hot, either on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
