Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Wash and peel the russet potatoes if desired. Cut them into fries approximately 1/4-inch thick to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and allow them to soak for at least 10 minutes. This process helps to remove excess starch, contributing to the crispiness.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Any excess moisture can prevent them from becoming crispy.
Step 5
In a large dry bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the dried potato fries in the seasoned oil mixture until they're evenly coated.
Step 6
Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between each fry to promote even baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the fries from the oven and flip them to guarantee even crisping on all sides.
Step 8
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 9
Remove the fries from the oven and sprinkle them with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Step 10
Let the fries cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your heart-healthy crispy homemade fries as a side dish or a snack!
