Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes cut into fries
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon chili powder adjust to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Wash and peel the potatoes and cut them into fries. Soak the potatoes in cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.
- In a large bowl, toss the fries with avocado oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, garam masala, garlic powder, and chili powder then spread evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve hot with ketchup, yogurt dip, or chutney as preferred.
Notes
Alternative Cooking Methods:
- For extra crispiness, air-fry at 375°F for 15 minutes, shaking the basket or rotating the trays halfway through.
- You can also deep-fry the fries in hot oil until golden brown.
