Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then slice them into thin strips, ensuring they are uniformly cut to promote even cooking.

Step 3

Place the potato strips in a large bowl filled with cold water and let them soak for about 10 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch and ensures the fries become crispier.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel or paper towel.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, chili powder, and garlic powder. Stir well to create a masala mixture.

Step 6

Add the dried potato strips into the bowl with the masala mixture and toss well until the fries are evenly coated.

Step 7

Arrange the coated potato strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spread out in a single layer for even baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Once done, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the fries for garnish.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your sugar-free masala fries as a perfect snack or side dish.
