Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- Optional: Vegan mayonnaise or ketchup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This step will help make the fries crispy.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to ensure they are completely dry.
In a large bowl, combine the dry potato sticks with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss well to coat all the potatoes evenly.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. This will help them bake evenly and become crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then carefully flip the fries using a spatula, and bake for another 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once baked, remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and freshness.
Serve hot as a side dish or snack, with optional vegan mayonnaise or ketchup for dipping.
