Preheat your oven to 220 degrees Celsius (425 degrees Fahrenheit).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into thin fry shapes.
Soak the potato fries in cold water for about 15 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain the fries and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel.
In a mixing bowl, combine the dried potato fries with cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Toss until evenly coated.
Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the oil over the fries and toss them gently to ensure they are well-coated.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through until they are golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
