Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes (about 2 lbs)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scrub potatoes and cut into 1/4-inch thick sticks. Place in a large bowl of cold water and soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain potatoes and pat thoroughly dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- In a large bowl, toss potatoes with oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Spread potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then flip fries with a spatula. Continue baking for another 10-15 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Sprinkle with additional salt if desired and serve immediately.
Tips
- For extra crispiness, soak potatoes for 30 minutes instead of 10.
- Leftover fries can be reheated in a 400°F oven for 5 minutes.
- Pair with ketchup, mayo, or your favorite dipping sauce.
