Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin, even sticks to resemble classic fries. Aim for about 1/4 inch in thickness.

Step 3

Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for about 10 minutes to help remove excess starch. This step helps achieve crispier fries.

Step 4

While the potatoes are soaking, prepare the Peri Peri seasoning mix. In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil. Mix well.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 6

In a large bowl, toss the dried potato sticks with olive oil, making sure each piece is well coated.

Step 7

Add the prepared Peri Peri seasoning mix to the bowl with the oiled potatoes. Toss again to ensure even coverage of the spices on the potatoes.

Step 8

Spread the seasoned potato sticks in a single layer on the lined baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap as this helps them cook evenly and become crisp.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet and flip the fries using a spatula to allow for even cooking on both sides.

Step 10

Return the fries to the oven and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.

Step 11

Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with lemon juice for a tangy kick.

Step 12

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for an added burst of flavor and color.
