Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 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 the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on for extra texture and nutrients. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 3
Cut the potatoes into even-sized sticks, about 1/4-inch thick, for consistent cooking.
Step 4
Soak the potato sticks in cold water for 30 minutes or more to remove excess starch. This makes the fries crispier when baked.
Step 5
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 6
Place the dried potato sticks in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over them and toss to coat evenly.
Step 7
Add the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss again to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasonings.
Step 8
Spread the seasoned potato sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure there is enough space between them to prevent steaming.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, flip the fries using a spatula, and return them to the oven.
Step 10
Continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Step 11
Once baked, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 12
Serve immediately, paired with your favorite healthy dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own!
