Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut each potato into long, even slices about 1/4 inch thick to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and fill it with cold water. Soak the potatoes for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them crisp up better.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 5

In a large dry bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, ensuring each fry is coated evenly.

Step 6

Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to the bowl with the potatoes. Toss again until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.

Step 7

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching to help them crisp up.

Step 8

Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the baking sheet and flip the fries using a spatula.

Step 9

Return the fries to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy to your liking.

Step 10

Remove the baked fries from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Add additional salt or seasoning to taste, if desired.
