Ingredients
- 1000 grams Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Wash and peel the potatoes unless you prefer to keep the skin on for added texture and nutrients. Cut the potatoes into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to resemble traditional fries.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, making sure each piece is lightly coated. This helps to ensure they turn crispy in the oven.
Step 4
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the potato strips. Toss again until the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Step 5
Spread the potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they’re not overcrowded. This allows them to bake rather than steam.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking and browning.
Step 7
Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven. Let them cool slightly and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Step 8
Serve immediately while hot, optionally with low-fat ketchup or a yogurt-based dip.
