Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into evenly-sized sticks, about 1/4-inch thick, to mimic classic French fries.
Step 3
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This step helps ensure crispier fries when roasted.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 5
In a large bowl, toss the dried potato sticks with olive oil to evenly coat them.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the potatoes and toss well to coat evenly.
Step 7
Spread the seasoned potato sticks onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t overlapping for even roasting.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, use a spatula to flip the fries and return them to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the fries cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve immediately with your favorite low-fat dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own!
