Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for added texture.
Cut the potatoes into even-sized sticks about 1/4-inch thick to ensure they cook evenly.
Soak the potato sticks in a large bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in making them crispy.
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large bowl, combine the dried potato sticks with avocado oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This allows the fries to bake evenly and become crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then take the sheets out and flip the fries with a spatula.
Return the baking sheets to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a fresh flavor.
Allow the fries to cool for a few minutes before serving as they crisp up further during cooling.
