Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for added flavor)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Wash and peel the russet potatoes (optional if you prefer skin-on fries), then cut them into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3
Place the potato sticks into a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for at least 10 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them crisp up.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Make sure they are completely dry for maximum crispiness.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, paprika (if using), and black pepper to create a seasoning slurry.
Step 6
Return the dried potato sticks to the large bowl and pour the seasoning slurry over them. Toss well to coat every piece evenly.
Step 7
Spread the fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other (this helps them crisp up instead of steaming).
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the fries to ensure even cooking. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 9
Remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
