Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes:
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and julienned into thin strips
Seasoning:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish:
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the potatoes: Rinse the julienned potatoes under cold water, then pat them dry. Toss the potatoes with olive oil in a bowl until coated.
- Season the fries: In a separate bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle over the fries and toss to coat.
- Bake: Spread the seasoned potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Finish: Garnish with parsley if desired and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before drying.
- These fries pair well with aioli, spicy ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce.
- To air fry, cook at 375°F for 15-18 minutes, shaking halfway through.
