Garlic powder
Onion powder
Cornstarch (optional)
Instructions
1. Cut Russet potatoes into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick sticks for optimal crispiness.
2. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
3. Drain and thoroughly dry the potatoes to prevent steaming in the oven.
4. Toss the dried potatoes with olive oil or vegetable oil and seasonings like salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
5. Optionally, coat the fries lightly with cornstarch for extra crispiness.
6. Preheat the oven to 425-450°F for a crispy exterior.
7. Place a baking sheet in the oven while preheating to help crisp up the fries.
8. Spread the fries in a single layer on the hot baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
9. Bake the fries in the preheated oven for a total of 40-50 minutes.
10. Flip the fries halfway through the baking process to ensure even browning.
11. Optionally, use a double baking method, starting at a lower temperature and finishing at a higher temperature for better texture.
12. Remove the fries from the oven once they are golden and crispy.
13. Serve immediately for maximum crispness.
Notes
Cut the potatoes evenly into 1/4 to 1/2 inch sticks to help them cook uniformly and achieve the perfect crispiness.
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then dry them thoroughly to prevent steaming.
Preheat the baking sheet before adding the fries and bake at a high temperature (425-450°F), flipping them halfway through for even browning.
