Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut the potatoes lengthwise into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, to create fries.
Place the cut fries in a large bowl and fill with cold water. Let them soak for at least 10 minutes; this helps to remove excess starch and creates crispier fries.
While the fries are soaking, in a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry to help them crisp up in the oven.
Return the dry fries to the bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss the fries until they are evenly coated. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the fries and toss again to ensure even distribution of the spices.
Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. This allows them to bake evenly and get crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip each fry over using a spatula. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, you can sprinkle with additional paprika for extra color.
Serve the seasoned fries hot as a delicious side dish or snack.
