How to Make Crispy Baked Fries 👇
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Optional toppings: grated Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs (like rosemary or parsley), red pepper flakes
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
Wash and peel the potatoes if desired. Cut them into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure they cook evenly.
3. Soak the Potatoes:
Place the potato sticks in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
4. Season the Fries:
Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel. Transfer them to a large bowl.
- Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
5. Bake the Fries:
Spread the seasoned potato sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve:
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, or red pepper flakes.
- Serve the fries warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
