Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into evenly-sized sticks, about 1/4-inch thick, to mimic classic French fries.
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This step helps ensure crispier fries when roasted.
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large bowl, toss the dried potato sticks with olive oil to evenly coat them.
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the potatoes and toss well to coat evenly.
Spread the seasoned potato sticks onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t overlapping for even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, use a spatula to flip the fries and return them to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the fries cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve immediately with your favorite low-fat dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own!
