Ingredients

• 5 large russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes (if desired) and rinse them under cold water.

Step 2

Slice the potatoes into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure consistent cooking.

Step 3

Place the potato sticks into a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and ensures crispier fries.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or non-stick aluminum foil.

Step 6

Transfer the potato sticks to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the vegetable oil over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss until each fry is evenly coated.

Step 8

Arrange the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they don’t overlap.

Step 9

Bake the fries in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and tender.

Step 10

Remove the fries from the oven and allow them to cool completely.

Step 11

Once cooled, transfer the fries to a freezer-safe bag or container in a single layer. If stacking, place parchment paper between layers.

Step 12

Freeze the fries for up to 3 months.

Step 13

To cook from frozen, preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Spread the frozen fries on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy and heated through.
