Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for extra texture, or peel them if you prefer. Cut the potatoes into evenly sized fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and soak for 10 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and ensures crispiness.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel. Make sure they’re completely dry to avoid sogginess.
Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potatoes and toss until all fries are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. This allows them to crisp up properly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the tray, flip the fries over, and return to the oven for another 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley for an extra pop of color and herbaceous flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish, snack, or appetizer. Enjoy your Whole30 Spicy Fries!
