Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Sea 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 large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt and grit. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into thin, even strips about 1/4-inch wide to ensure even cooking.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, ensuring each strip is evenly coated with oil.

Step 5

Add the sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to the bowl. Continue tossing until the potatoes are evenly seasoned with the spices.

Step 6

Spread the potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for optimal crisping.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet and use a spatula to flip the fries carefully.

Step 8

Return the fries to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Once baked, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a delicious and guilt-free Whole30 snack or side dish.
