Method
Preparation
- 1
Wash and Cut Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the Russet potatoes under cold water. Peel them if desired, then cut each potato into evenly sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
Cooking
- 3
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve that golden crispy texture.
- 4
Drain and Dry Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potato strips and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Make sure they are as dry as possible.
- 5
Season Potatoes
In a large bowl, combine the dried potato strips with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss until all the fries are evenly coated.
- 6
Bake Potatoes
Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serving

Serve Hot
Once baked, remove the fries from the oven and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. Serve them hot as a side dish or snack.
