Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Optional: Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes (optional) and cut them into evenly sized fries, about 1/4-inch thick. Keeping the fries uniform in size ensures even cooking.

Step 3

Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 30 minutes. This step removes excess starch and helps to achieve crispier fries.

Step 4

After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potato slices with olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all fries are well coated.

Step 6

Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap. Overcrowding can lead to soggy fries.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet and flip the fries with a spatula to ensure even browning.

Step 8

Return the fries to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove the fries from the oven. Optional: Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley for added flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, aioli, or ranch.
