Fries

Method

Preparation of Fries

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Cut them into thin strips or wedges, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve extra crispiness.

  4. 4

    Dry the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Seasoning and Baking

  1. 5

    Season the Potatoes

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the dried potatoes to the bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.

  2. 6

    Spread on Baking Sheet

    Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded for even cooking.

  3. 7

    Bake the Fries

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through for even browning, until they are golden brown and crispy.

  4. 8

    Add Parmesan Cheese (Optional)

    If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the fries in the last 5 minutes of baking for added flavor.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve Hot

    Once baked, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
