Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. | |
| Step 2 | |
|
Cut potatoes lengthwise into 4-6 sections (depending on desired thickness) then stack and slice into thin strips.
|
|
| Step 3 | |
| Immediately place cut fries into the bowl of cold water and allow to soak for 10-12 minutes. | |
| Step 4 | |
| While the potatoes are soaking, stir together all of the spices and set aside. | |
| Step 5 | |
| Remove the potatoes from the water and thoroughly dry using clean kitchen towels. | |
| Step 6 | |
| Add fries to a large baking sheet lined with parchment, drizzle with olive oil, heavily season with some of the spice mixture, and toss until each fry is evenly coated. Spread the fries into a single layer (use two baking sheets if you can't get them into one layer) then bake for 20 minutes. | |
| Step 7 | |
| Remove sheet from oven, sprinkle the fries with more seasoning, then stir and flip to ensure even browning. Continue baking for another 20 minutes. | |
| Step 8 | |
| Remove from the oven when fries are golden brown and crispy. Sprinkle with more seasoning if desired and serve immediately. | |
| Step 9 | |
| Enjoy! | |
