Ingredients
  

  • 2 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to create fries.
  • Place the cut fries in a large bowl and soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes them crispier.
  • After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, oregano, and thyme.
  • Toss the dried fries in the vegetable oil until evenly coated. Then sprinkle the spice mixture over the fries and toss again until well coated.
  • Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, try double-baking the fries: bake them for 15 minutes, let them cool, then bake again for an additional 15 minutes.
  • For a cheesy twist, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the fries during the last 5 minutes of baking.
