Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon chili powder (adjust for spice preference)

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's hot enough to make the potatos crispy.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds a nice texture and flavor.

      Cut into Fingers: Slice the potatoes lengthwise into quarters, creating long strips. Aim for about ½ inch thickness to ensure even cooking.

        Seasoning Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.

          Coat the Potatoes: Add the potato fingers to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture. Make sure all sides are well-seasoned.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the potato fingers out in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded, which helps them crisp up nicely.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

                Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the potato fingers from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce such as ketchup, ranch, or spicy mayo.
