Potatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Cut the Potatoes

    Start by washing the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes if desired, then cut them into even-sized fries, about 1/4-inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut fries into a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch, which will result in crispier fries.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. 4

    Dry the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the water and pat the fries dry with a clean kitchen towel. This step is crucial to achieve a crispy texture.

  3. 5

    Season the Fries

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

  4. 6

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven. Let them cool for a couple of minutes and serve immediately.
