Enjoy crispy, flavorful oven-baked fries made with just five simple ingredients. Using Russet potatoes for the perfect texture, this recipe delivers golden, crunchy fries seasoned with garlic powder, paprika, and kosher salt. These fries are a healthier alternative to deep-fried versions, baked to crispy perfection in the oven.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 large Russet potatoes
  • 23 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking crispy fries.
  2. Prepare the potatoes: Cut the Russet potatoes into thin fries by first slicing them lengthwise into ¼ inch flats, then cutting those flats into thin sticks.
  3. Toss with oil and seasoning: Place the potato sticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Use your hands to toss and coat the fries evenly with the oil and seasonings.
  4. Arrange for baking: Spread the fries out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Avoid crowding so they can crisp up properly.
  5. Bake until crispy: Bake for 35-45 minutes until golden and crispy. If they’re not as crispy as desired after 45 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 450°F (232°C) and roast for an additional 5-7 minutes to achieve extra crispiness.

Notes

  • For extra crispy fries, make sure the pieces are evenly sized.
  • Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Adjust seasoning amounts based on preference.
  • Turn fries halfway through baking for more even cooking.
  • Serve immediately for best texture.
