Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch thick sticks to create fries.

Step 3

Transfer the cut potatoes into a large bowl and soak them in cold water for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to ensure they are as dry as possible.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to make the spice blend.

Step 6

Place the dried potato sticks back into the large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the spice blend over the potatoes and toss again until the fries are evenly coated with the spices.

Step 8

Arrange the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not too crowded to allow even cooking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Once baked, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped cilantro, if using, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
