Method
Preparation
- 1
Wash and Cut Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes to remove any dirt. Using a sharp knife, cut each potato lengthwise into quarters, and then cut each quarter into waffle shapes (crosshatch pattern) to create waffle fries.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes them crispier when cooked.
- 3
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Cooking
- 4
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough for roasting the fries.
- 5
Season the Fries
In a large bowl, combine the dried waffle fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- 6
Arrange and Bake
Spread the seasoned waffle fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overlapping for even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 7
Serve
Once baked, remove the waffle fries from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
