Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, fresh
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 to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for extra texture and nutrition, or peel them if desired.
Step 3
Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick strips to form fries. Try to keep them uniform in size for even cooking.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato strips with olive oil, minced garlic (using a garlic press or finely chopped), salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss until the fries are evenly coated in the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Spread the fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren't crowded or overlapping. This helps them crisp up properly.
Step 6
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through using a spatula. Keep an eye on them during the last 5 minutes to ensure they don’t burn.
Step 7
Remove the fries from the oven once they are golden-brown and crispy on the edges.
Step 8
Sprinkle the freshly baked fries with chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Serve them immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as aioli or ketchup, if desired.
