Ingredients
- 4 whole Medium Russet potatoes
- 3 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 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. There's no need to peel them, as the skin adds flavor and texture to the waffle fries.
Step 3
Using a mandoline slicer or a waffle cutter, carefully slice the potatoes to make waffle-shaped pieces, about 1/8 inch thick. Rotate the potato 90 degrees after each slice to achieve the waffle pattern.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt substitute, if using.
Step 5
Add the sliced potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the oil and spice mixture.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned potato slices out in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overlapping to allow for even cooking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After the initial 20 minutes, flip the fries to the other side, and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Once done, remove the waffle fries from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve your low sodium waffle fries immediately. Enjoy as a snack or as a side to your favorite meal.
