Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Cut each potato into even-sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking. For extra crispiness, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Step 5
Add the potato sticks to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap, as this will help them crisp up better.
Step 7
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove them and use a spatula to flip them over.
Step 8
Return the fries to the oven and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Once done, remove the fries from the oven and immediately transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
