Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and slice them into waffle shapes using a mandoline slicer equipped with the waffle blade.
Step 3
Pat the sliced potatoes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help them crisp up nicely in the oven.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Toss the potato slices in the oil mixture until they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Place the coated potato slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are in a single layer and not crowded.
Step 6
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip them over and continue baking for another 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the waffle fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle them with lemon zest and fresh parsley.
Step 8
Serve the Mediterranean-style waffle fries warm and enjoy as a healthier side dish or snack.
