Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Thereβs no need to peel them unless preferred.
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4-inch thick, to help them cook evenly.
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil to coat them evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Sprinkle this mixture over the potatoes and toss until the potatoes are well coated.
Arrange the potato sticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. This allows them to crisp up properly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the tray and use a spatula to flip the fries. Return the tray to the oven and continue baking for another 15 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed and enjoy!
