Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large Russet potatoes
- 1 bottle Olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Using a mandoline with a waffle blade or a specialized crinkle cutter, slice the Russet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick waffle-cut slices.
Step 3
Place the sliced potatoes into a bowl of cold water and let them sit for 10 minutes. This will help remove excess starch and ensure crispiness.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 5
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Spray a light, even coating of olive oil over the slices. Make sure to coat both sides, but do not saturate them with oil.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Step 8
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the potato slices.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then carefully flip each slice and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Once cooked, remove the fries from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve plain or with your favorite dipping sauce for a delicious low-fat snack!
