Ingredients

• 2 whole large russet potatoes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and dry them with a clean towel. Leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.

Step 3

Using a mandoline slicer with a waffle blade attachment, carefully slice the potatoes into waffle shapes. Alternatively, you can hand-cut the shapes by slicing the potato horizontally, rotating it 90 degrees after each cut to achieve the crisscross effect.

Step 4

Place the sliced potatoes into a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil, tossing them until evenly coated.

Step 5

Sprinkle the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes and toss again to ensure even distribution of the seasonings.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned potato slices onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then carefully flip each fry over using a spatula.

Step 8

Continue baking for another 15 minutes or until the waffle fries are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish or snack, and enjoy your low-fat homemade waffle fries!
