Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Low sodium salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and slice them into thin, uniform strips about 1/8 inch thick using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for precision.
Step 2
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 15 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Step 6
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the potatoes in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping. You may need to use two baking sheets.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through cooking time to ensure even browning.
Step 8
Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and low sodium salt if desired before serving.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium shoestring French fries with your favorite dipping sauce.
