Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds blue potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 0.75 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Wash and dry the blue potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on for extra texture and nutrients.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into thin fries, about 1/4-inch thick. Try to keep the fries uniform for even cooking.

Step 4

In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil until evenly coated.

Step 5

Sprinkle the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Toss again to coat all the fries with the seasonings.

Step 6

Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping. This helps them crisp up better.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.

Step 8

After 15 minutes, use a spatula to carefully flip the fries to ensure even browning. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Step 9

Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a garnish, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, aioli, or ranch.
