  1. 1

    Prep

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Prepare potatoes

    Scrub the potatoes clean and cut into evenly sized fries about 1/4 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Soak and dry

    Soak the cut fries in cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat completely dry.

  4. 4

    Make coating

    In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and cornstarch until smooth.

  5. 5

    Coat fries

    Add the cut potatoes to the oil mixture and toss to coat evenly.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.

  7. 7

    Flip and finish

    Flip the fries and bake for another 15–20 minutes, until crisp and golden.

  8. 8

    Finish and serve

    If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the hot fries and bake 1–2 minutes more to melt. Serve warm.
