Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut each potato into even-sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking. For extra crispiness, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Add the potato sticks to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap, as this will help them crisp up better.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove them and use a spatula to flip them over.
Return the fries to the oven and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Once done, remove the fries from the oven and immediately transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
