Seasoned Fries Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Fries:

4 large potatoes (Russet or any other good frying variety)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust according to heat preference)

Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Dipping Sauce:

1/2 cup ketchup

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:

Prepare the Potatoes:

Peel the potatoes and cut them into strips. Soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This step helps the fries become crispier.

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Season the Potatoes:

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Transfer to a large bowl.

Toss the fries with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Bake the Fries:

Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they aren’t overcrowded to ensure even cooking and crispiness.

Bake for 25-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Prepare the Dipping Sauce:

While the fries are baking, mix the ketchup, mayonnaise, hot sauce, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Serve:

Serve the hot fries with the dipping sauce on the side.

These seasoned fries are perfect for a quick snack, game day, or as a side with burgers or sandwiches. Enjoy your homemade crispy fries with the tangy and slightly spicy dipping sauce!
