Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on for extra texture and flavor.
Step 3
Slice the potatoes into thin, even sticks about 1/4-inch thick to resemble traditional French fries.
Step 4
Place the potato sticks in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the fries are evenly coated in the seasoning.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to allow them to cook evenly.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the tray and flip the fries over using a spatula. This step helps achieve an even crispiness.
Step 7
Return the fries to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly for a minute or two.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as is!
