Ingredients

2 pounds red skinned potatoes (900g)
3 tablespoons oil (canola, vegetable, avocado etc)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon paprika

Instructions

Wash the potatoes and cut into fries of an even thickness.
Place the cut potatoes into a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes.
When ready to cook the fries, preheat the oven to 430F / 220c.
Drain the potatoes and pat dry with kitchen paper.
Place the fries in a bowl, add the oil and seasonings and toss well to coat.
Lay the potatoes in a single layer on a foil lined baking sheet.
Oven bake for 50 minutes to an hour til golden brown and crispy, and flip halfway through cooking.

Notes

Cut the red-skinned potatoes as evenly as you can. The thinner you cut them, the crispier they will be.
The water for soaking should be ice cold for the best result.
Flip the fries halfway through the cooking to let them cook evenly.
Cook them in a single layer to make sure they turn crispy and not steamed.
