Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried dill
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skin on. Cut them into thin, evenly-sized fries—about 1/4-inch thick.
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Drizzle the dried potatoes with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. If using Parmesan cheese, add it as well.
Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping. This ensures even cooking and crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the fries cool for a few minutes. Taste and adjust salt, if necessary.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, ketchup, or garlic aioli.
