Ingredients

• 4 Large russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized sticks (about 1/4 inch thick) to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 3

Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for at least 20 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, which makes for crisper fries.

Step 4

After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.

Step 6

Place the dried potatoes back into the large bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and toss well to coat them evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the Peri Peri seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss again until all fries are evenly coated with spices.

Step 8

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they crisp up properly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then flip the fries and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Once done, remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with fresh lemon juice.

Step 11

Transfer the fries to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 12

Serve hot as a snack with your favorite dipping sauce or as a flavorful side dish.
