Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 0 Optional: Vegan mayonnaise or ketchup
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This step will help make the fries crispy.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to ensure they are completely dry.
Step 5
In a large bowl, combine the dry potato sticks with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss well to coat all the potatoes evenly.
Step 6
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. This will help them bake evenly and become crispy.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then carefully flip the fries using a spatula, and bake for another 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Once baked, remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and freshness.
Step 9
Serve hot as a side dish or snack, with optional vegan mayonnaise or ketchup for dipping.
