Ingredients
- 1 pound Russet potatoes
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the potatoes and slice them into ¼ inch thick slices.
- Place the potatoes in a large mix and cover them with cold water. Let the fries soak for at least 30 minutes.
- While the potatoes are soaking, preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and position an oven rack to a lower portion of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Drain the water off of the potatoes, rinse and pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Make sure to dry the bowl out that the potatoes were stored in as well. Place the potatoes back into the bowl.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the salt, garlic powder, paprika and black pepper.
- Drizzle the oil on top of the potatoes and sprinkle the seasoning mixture on top. Toss the thoroughly coat the potatoes with the oil and seasoning mixture.
- Spread the potatoes into an even layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Carefully toss the french fries and flip them.
- Bake for another 10-15 minutes (toss the fries 2-3 more times during this cook time) until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with more salt based on your preference. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes
- You can peel the potatoes if you prefer before making these french fries.
- You can allow the potatoes to soak overnight as well and bake the next day.
- Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. The fries will get soft as you store them so I recommend reheating them in the oven to make them crispy again.
