Total Time 40 minutes
Yield 1 - 3 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 large russet potato
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • other spices as desired
  • 2 1/2 to 4 tsp oil

Instructions

  • *The potato I used was 13 oz (about the size of 2 fists put together). While you technically could omit the oil, the fries will be much softer and not as crispy, so I recommend including at least 2 1/2 tsp oil if you can. It really isn’t much and will make a big difference in the taste and texture.
    Scrub the potato. I left the skin on, but you can peel if you prefer. Cut into matchsticks. Place in a bowl and cover with water. Let soak 1-2 hours, then drain and pat completely dry. Preheat oven to 450 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss fries with the oil and seasonings, then place in a single layer on the baking sheet. Don’t crowd the pan. Bake on the center rack 20 minutes, flip, then bake 20 additional minutes or until browned to your liking.
