Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to clean them. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the potatoes into evenly-sized fries, about 1/4 inch thick. Try to keep them as uniform as possible to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with the olive oil until each piece is lightly coated.
Sprinkle the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika over the potatoes. Toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd them so they crisp up properly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and use a spatula to turn the fries over. This step ensures even crispiness on all sides.
Return the fries to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, season with a little more salt to taste.
