Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly-sized sticks or wedges, about 1/4 inch thick, ensuring consistent sizes for uniform cooking.
Step 3
Place the cut potatoes into a large bowl of cold water. Let them soak for about 10 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
Step 4
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potatoes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss well to ensure the fries are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
Step 6
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded; use two baking sheets if necessary to allow air to circulate around them.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and use a spatula to flip the fries to the other side.
Step 8
Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Once done, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
Step 10
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or garnish with additional salt and herbs if desired.
