Potatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, to create fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes for crispier fries.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat Oven

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

  2. 4

    Drain and Dry the Potatoes

    After 30 minutes, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

  3. 5

    Season the Potatoes

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

  4. 6

    Arrange and Bake

    Spread the seasoned potato strips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even cooking.

  5. 7

    Bake the Fries

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.

  6. 8

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve your German fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
