Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 4 cups Cold water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and peel the russet potatoes (optional if you like 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 submerge them in cold water. Let them soak for 15 minutes to remove excess starch, making them crispier when baked.
Step 4
Drain the water and thoroughly pat the potato sticks dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensuring they're completely dry is crucial for crispiness.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and cornstarch. Mix well.
Step 6
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potato sticks and toss them until evenly coated.
Step 7
Spread the seasoned potato sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. This allows for even baking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then flip the fries using a spatula and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the fries cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy your fat-free seasoned French fries with your favorite dipping sauce!
