Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 russet potatoes
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425°F degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Wash the potatoes and scrub their skin to clean them as much as possible. Cut the potatoes into ¼-inch wide sticks
  • Place the potatoes in a large bowl and submerge with cold water. Soak for 30 minutes. Drain the potatoes and dry very well using paper towels or a kitchen towel.
  • Transfer the dried potatoes to the prepared baking sheet. Add olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt, paprika, garlic powder and black pepper. Toss well to coat.
  • Arrange fries in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they aren’t touching too much. This is key in helping them cook evenly and get crispy.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, tossing at the halfway point to ensure even baking.
  • Season with the remaining salt immediately when they are done cooking.
