Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick matchsticks, about 1/4 inch wide.
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and soak for 20 minutes to remove excess starch.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and black pepper.
Add the dried potato sticks to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven and drizzle them with lemon juice for an added zing.
Serve hot as a side dish or a delicious snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
