Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning mix
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Slice them into thin, even sticks about 1/4 inch thick for uniform cooking.
Step 3
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for 20-30 minutes to remove excess starch for crispier fries. Drain the water and pat the potato slices completely dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 4
Return the dried potato slices to the bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together the ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss again until all the fries are well coated.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the pan and flip the fries over using a spatula, then bake for another 10 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
