Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for added texture or peel them if preferred.
Cut the potatoes into even-sized sticks, about 1/4-inch thick, to ensure uniform cooking.
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for 20-30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them crisp up.
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Return the dried potatoes to the large bowl and drizzle the olive oil over them. Toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the potatoes and toss again until all the fries are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren’t overcrowded to allow even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and flip the fries using a spatula. Return them to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.
Serve warm on their own or with your favorite dipping sauces. Enjoy!
