Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder (for Garlic Herb variation)
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano (for Garlic Herb variation)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for Garlic Herb variation, optional)
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika (for Spicy Paprika variation)
• 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (for Spicy Paprika variation)
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional garnish for Classic Sea Salt variation)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes (optional) and cut them into thin, even slices or sticks, resembling French fries. Aim for uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 15 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps the fries become crisp in the oven.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Transfer the dried potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper, tossing well to evenly coat each piece.

Step 6

For the flavor variations, divide the potatoes into three portions, if desired: - For Classic Sea Salt: Leave as is or sprinkle with Parmesan cheese after baking. - For Garlic Herb: Add garlic powder, dried oregano, and chopped parsley. - For Spicy Paprika: Sprinkle smoked paprika and cayenne pepper into the mix.

Step 7

Spread the fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding; use two baking sheets if necessary to allow for even crisping.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the tray and flip the fries using a spatula. Return them to the oven and bake for another 10–15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove the fries from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with additional parsley, Parmesan cheese, or a dash of paprika, depending on the variation.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as tzatziki, ketchup, or aioli, and enjoy!
