- 1 tsp fine sea salt, or to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper, or to taste
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Wash, peel (optional), and cut potatoes into 1/4 to 1/2-inch uniform sticks.
- Place cut potatoes in a large bowl, cover with cold water, and soak for at least 30 minutes. Drain well.
- Spread potatoes on clean kitchen towels and pat thoroughly dry until no moisture remains. This step is crucial for crispiness.

- In a large bowl, toss the dry potato sticks with oil and all seasonings until evenly coated.
- Carefully spread fries in a single layer on the preheated baking sheet, ensuring not to overcrowd. Use two sheets if necessary.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, then flip or toss the fries. Continue baking for another 10-20 minutes, or until deeply golden brown and crispy.
