Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into 1/4-inch thick sticks for evenly sized fries.
Soak the cut fries in a bowl of cold water for at least 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help them crisp up better.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel, ensuring they are as dry as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, oregano, cayenne pepper, and nutritional yeast.
Add the dried potato sticks to the bowl and toss well to coat them evenly with the seasoned oil mixture.
Arrange the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to allow even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite vegan condiment.
