Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon optional herbs (such as parsley or rosemary)

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 oil.

Step 2

Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Slice them into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4-inch thick, to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Place the potato sticks in a large bowl of cold water. Let them soak for 10-15 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve crispiness.

Step 4

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

Step 5

In a large bowl, toss the dried potato sticks with the olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper together.

Step 7

Sprinkle the cornstarch and seasoning mixture over the potatoes, tossing well to ensure an even coating.

Step 8

Spread the seasoned potato sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this prevents crisping.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the pan, flip the fries, and return them to the oven for another 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with optional herbs, if desired, for added flavor.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy Oven Frites Fries!
