House Fries Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips or wedges, depending on your preference.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which will make them crispier when cooked.

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 4
Season the Potatoes
Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a towel. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, lime zest, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Bake the Fries
Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Add Lime Juice and Serve
Remove the fries from the oven, drizzle with fresh lime juice, and toss gently. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve hot.
