Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Slice each potato into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick to form fries.
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This step helps remove starch and make them crispier.
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Place the dried potato sticks in a dry bowl and add 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Arrange the potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between each fry for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the fries over. Continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately while the fries are hot and enjoy your Paleo Crispy Baked Potato Fries!
