Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a mandoline or a waffle cutter, slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick waffle-style slices. Rotate the potato 90 degrees between each slice to achieve the crisscross pattern.
In a large bowl, combine the potato slices, olive oil, sea salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
Spread the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between each slice to allow for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Carefully flip the potato slices using a spatula, and continue to bake for another 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Whole30 Copycat Chick-fil-A Waffle Fries immediately!
