instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 220 degrees Celsius (425 degrees Fahrenheit).

    2

    Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into thin fry shapes.

    3

    Soak the potato fries in cold water for about 15 minutes to remove excess starch.

    4

    Drain the fries and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel.

    5

    In a mixing bowl, combine the dried potato fries with cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Toss until evenly coated.

    6

    Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    7

    Drizzle the oil over the fries and toss them gently to ensure they are well-coated.

    8

    Bake the fries in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through until they are golden and crisp.

    9

    Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

How to be creative
  • Add some grated Parmesan cheese on top just before serving for a cheesy twist.
  • Toss in some fresh herbs, like chopped cilantro or parsley, after baking for added freshness.
  • Try adding a squeeze of lime juice for a zesty kick!
Important Tips
  • Make sure to soak the fries well; this helps them achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Use a high smoke point oil like canola or vegetable oil for baking.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; this allows hot air to circulate around them, giving you crispy fries.
