Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 can Olive oil cooking spray
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Slice them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to resemble the classic fry shape.
Step 3
In a large bowl, soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for about 10 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch, giving you a crispier fry.
Step 4
While the potatoes are soaking, in a separate bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt.
Step 5
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 6
Dust the potatoes with the flour mixture, ensuring every fry is lightly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 7
Place the coated potato strips onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the sheet to ensure even baking.
Step 8
Lightly spray the fries with olive oil cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then carefully turn the fries using a spatula.
Step 10
Continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy. You may need to adjust the cooking time depending on your oven.
Step 11
Once done, remove the fries from the oven and let them sit for a couple of minutes to cool slightly and continue to crisp.
Step 12
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat, homemade KFC-style crispy fries.
