The skin-on potatoes add a delightful texture while keeping prep simple and fuss-free. Perfect as a side dish, snack, or party appetizer, these oven-baked fries deliver irresistibly crunchy edges with soft, fluffy centers. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color and pair with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra layer of indulgence. Both easy and family-friendly, this recipe is destined to be a go-to classic for weeknight dinners or casual get-togethers.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skin on for extra texture and flavor. Pat dry with a towel.
Cut each potato lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick sticks to create classic fry shapes. Try to keep the size consistent for even cooking.
Place the cut potatoes into a large bowl. Add the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the fries with the seasoning.
Spread the coated potato sticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the tray, flip the fries using a spatula, and return to the oven for another 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
