Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 can Olive oil cooking spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 3
Using a waffle cutter, carefully slice the potatoes to create a waffle-like pattern. Aim to keep the slices about 1/4 inch thick for optimal crispiness.
Step 4
In a large bowl, toss the waffle-cut potatoes with a light spray of olive oil cooking spray to lightly coat each piece.
Step 5
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder over the potatoes, and toss again to ensure even distribution of the seasonings.
Step 6
Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping to allow for even cooking.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Step 8
After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully flip each fry. Spray lightly with cooking spray again, if desired, for extra crispiness.
Step 9
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-fat Chick-fil-A waffle fries immediately for the best texture.
