Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder (for Garlic Herb variation)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano (for Garlic Herb variation)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for Garlic Herb variation, optional)
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika (for Spicy Paprika variation)
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (for Spicy Paprika variation)
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional garnish for Classic Sea Salt variation)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Peel the potatoes (optional) and cut them into thin, even slices or sticks, resembling French fries. Aim for uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 15 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps the fries become crisp in the oven.
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Transfer the dried potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper, tossing well to evenly coat each piece.
For the flavor variations, divide the potatoes into three portions, if desired: - For Classic Sea Salt: Leave as is or sprinkle with Parmesan cheese after baking. - For Garlic Herb: Add garlic powder, dried oregano, and chopped parsley. - For Spicy Paprika: Sprinkle smoked paprika and cayenne pepper into the mix.
Spread the fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding; use two baking sheets if necessary to allow for even crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the tray and flip the fries using a spatula. Return them to the oven and bake for another 10–15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with additional parsley, Parmesan cheese, or a dash of paprika, depending on the variation.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as tzatziki, ketchup, or aioli, and enjoy!
