Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into very thin, shoestring-like strips using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife.
Step 3
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 5
In a clean dry bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Step 6
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don't overlap for even cooking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy, tossing halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Step 8
Once done, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Taste and adjust salt if needed before serving.
