Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. If you prefer, you can leave the skin on for extra texture.
Using a mandolin with a waffle fry or crinkle cutter attachment, slice the potatoes into waffle-shaped slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 10 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel to remove as much moisture as possible.
Return the potatoes to the bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle over the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss again until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and spread the seasoned potato slices in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the waffle fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.
Serve immediately as a side or snack, and enjoy your sugar-free copycat Chick-fil-A waffle fries!
