Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes to remove any dirt. Peel them if desired, but leaving the skins on adds extra fiber.
Step 3
Cut the potatoes into even-sized sticks, about 1/4-inch thick, to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 4
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for at least 20 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps make them crispy.
Step 5
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is crucial to achieving crispy fries.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, ground black pepper, sea salt, and dried oregano.
Step 7
Pour the seasoned oil mixture over the dried potato sticks and toss until all the fries are evenly coated.
Step 8
Arrange the coated fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even baking.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the tray and flip the fries to ensure even cooking.
Step 10
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 12
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy them on their own with your favorite heart-healthy dipping sauce.
