Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then slice them into even matchsticks approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
Step 4
While the potatoes are soaking, in a small bowl, mix the olive oil, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
Step 5
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness.
Step 6
Return the dried potato slices to the large bowl, pour the oil and seasoning mixture over them, and toss until they are evenly coated.
Step 7
Spread the coated potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap to allow even cooking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the baking sheet to flip the potatoes using a spatula.
Step 9
Return the potatoes to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven. Let them cool slightly, then sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy the crispy texture of these low-fat fried potatoes!
