Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)

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

Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. 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 even cooking.

Step 4

Place the potato sticks into a large mixing bowl, then drizzle them with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss again to coat evenly.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned potato sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be sure not to overcrowd them so they roast and crisp up properly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then use a spatula to flip the fries. Continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 8

Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor before serving.

Step 9

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