Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 can Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Wash and peel the russet potatoes, if desired. Cut the potatoes into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, to resemble classic fries.
Step 3
Place the cut potatoes into a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help make the fries crispy.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, add the paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Stir to combine the spices evenly.
Step 6
Add the dried potatoes to the bowl with the spices and lightly spray them with olive oil cooking spray. Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 7
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap. This ensures even cooking.
Step 8
Lightly spray the potatoes with olive oil cooking spray again to promote crispiness without excess fat.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through cooking to ensure both sides crisp up evenly.
Step 10
Remove the fries from the oven once they are golden brown and crispy. Sprinkle with additional salt if needed and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Step 11
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy your low-fat spicy fries!
