- 5 medium-large potatoes 1 kg
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon smoked or regular paprika or half and half
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill optional, takes it to the next level
Preheat oven to 430℉/220℃ with Turbo or fan if available.
Cut the potatoes into fries (with or without the skin) and transfer to a large bowl.
Pour boiling water over the cut potatoes until they are completely covered, and cover with a lid. Leave the fries in the boiling water for 15 minutes.
Drain the water, transfer the fries to a kitchen towel and dry thoroughly.
Dry the bowl that was used previously and return the fries to it. Add the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, pepper and dill and mix well.
Place parchment paper on a sheet pan and spray lightly with oil.
Spread the fries on the tray in one layer and place the tray in the lower third of the oven for about 20 minutes.
When the fries are golden brown on one side flip them over and continue baking until evenly brown.
