Ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water. Leave the skins on for extra texture and nutrients.
Step 3
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4-inch thick, to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 4
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve a crispier texture.
Step 5
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 6
Return the dry potatoes to the bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Step 7
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder over the potatoes. Toss again to ensure even seasoning.
Step 8
Spread the potatoes out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap for maximum crispness.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet and use a spatula to flip the fries over to promote even cooking.
Step 10
Return the fries to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 11
Remove the fries from the oven and sprinkle with additional salt if desired. Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
Step 12
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
