Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then slice them into thin strips, ensuring they are uniformly cut to promote even cooking.
Place the potato strips in a large bowl filled with cold water and let them soak for about 10 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch and ensures the fries become crispier.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel or paper towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, chili powder, and garlic powder. Stir well to create a masala mixture.
Add the dried potato strips into the bowl with the masala mixture and toss well until the fries are evenly coated.
Arrange the coated potato strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spread out in a single layer for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once done, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the fries for garnish.
Serve warm and enjoy your sugar-free masala fries as a perfect snack or side dish.
