Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt substitute (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Rinse the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Do not peel the potatoes for authentic texture and flavor.
Step 3
Using a waffle fry cutter or mandolin slicer with a waffle blade setting, slice the potatoes into waffle shapes. Aim for about 1/4-inch thickness.
Step 4
Place the cut fries in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for at least 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
Step 5
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to remove any excess moisture.
Step 6
Return the potatoes to the dry bowl and add the olive oil. Toss the potatoes to coat them evenly in the oil.
Step 7
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt substitute (if using). Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss until they are well coated.
Step 8
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure they crisp up nicely.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the fries over using a spatula. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Remove the tray from the oven and let the fries sit for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade low sodium waffle fries immediately for the best texture and flavor.
