Cottage Fries Ingredients

Method

Cottage Fries Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds extra texture and flavor. Cut the potatoes into wedges, approximately 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure the fries will be crispy.

  3. 3

    Season the Potatoes

    In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Make sure each wedge is evenly coated with the oil and spices.

  4. 4

    Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure there is enough space between the wedges for even cooking.

  5. 5

    Bake the Fries

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time for even browning. The fries should be golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Once done, remove the fries from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
