Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Leave the skin on for extra texture.
Step 3
Using a mandoline with a waffle blade or a crinkle cutter, slice the potatoes to an even thickness, around 1/4 inch. Rotate the potato 90 degrees after each cut to achieve the waffle pattern.
Step 4
Place the potato slices in a large bowl and drench them in cold water for about 10 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and promotes crispiness.
Step 5
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
Step 6
Return the dried potato slices to the bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss the slices to ensure every piece is coated evenly.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 8
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potatoes and toss again for even coating.
Step 9
Arrange the seasoned waffle fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they crisp up nicely.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then turn each fry over using a spatula. Continue baking for an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 12
Serve immediately as a side or a snack, and enjoy your homemade sugar-free waffle fries!
