Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. For a rustic look, you can leave the skin on.
Step 3
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Step 4
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve crispier fries.
Step 5
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 6
In a separate large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Add the dried potato sticks to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 7
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even browning.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and flip the fries using a spatula for even cooking.
Step 9
Return the fries to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.
Step 10
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle with additional salt if desired and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
