Servings : 5 Serves
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds russet potatoes, (about 3 large potatoes), cut into 1/4-inch-thick sticks
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions
 

  • Place the cut-up potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water; set aside for about 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the seasoning mix by combining chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, grated parmesan, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl; mix until thoroughly incorporated. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 450˚F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and generously grease with cooking spray; set aside.
  • Drain, rinse, and arrange the fries on a paper towel-lined baking sheet to dry. Grab more paper towels and dry the potato fries thoroughly.
  • Transfer the fries to a large mixing bowl and stir in the vegetable oil. Add 1 tablespoon of the seasoning mixture to the potatoes; mix and stir until well combined.
  • Evenly arrange the potato fries on the foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden, flipping once halfway through cooking.
  • Remove from oven and taste for seasonings; adjust to taste with the remaining seasoning mix.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Selecting Potatoes: Use Russet potatoes to achieve the desired crispiness and texture when baked.
  • Slicing the Fries: Make sure the fries are sliced evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
  • Soaking Process: Immerse the sliced potatoes in water to eliminate extra starch - this will result in a crisper texture.
  • Drying: Ensure the potatoes are completely dry before adding seasonings.
  • Flavoring: Change up the mix of seasonings to align with your personal taste.
  • Serving: Serve the fries hot and consider offering a selection of dips to amplify the flavor experience.
