Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash and peel the potatoes if desired, then cut them into thin, even-sized sticks about 1/4 inch thick to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 3

Soak the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water for 20-30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them crisp up in the oven.

Step 4

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

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.

Step 7

Spread the seasoned potato sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper crisping.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Once baked, taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own!
