Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Montreal steak seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if desired, or leave the skin on for extra texture.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick, to ensure even cooking.

Step 4

Place the potato sticks in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 15 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato sticks with the olive oil, making sure they are evenly coated.

Step 7

Add the Montreal steak seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well coated in the spices.

Step 8

Arrange the seasoned potato sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the fries are not overlapping to promote even crisping.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the baking sheet and flip the fries using a spatula to ensure they crisp up evenly on all sides.

Step 10

Return the fries to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them in the final minutes to prevent burning.

Step 11

Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Step 12

Serve the Montreal seasoned oven fries immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
