  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsbp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Begin by washing the potatoes throughly
  • Transfer to a chopping board and cut the thoroughly rinsed potatoes lengthways. Stack each slice on top of another with the cut side facing down and slice into a 1/4 quarter inch thick french fries!
  • Place the chopped fries into a bowl of ice cold water to soak for a minimum of 30 minutes.
  • Once soaked remove and thoroughly pat dry with a tea towel
  • Place the fries into a large bowl and add the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt and pepper and combine well.
  • Lay them out evenly on an oven tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 30 minutes at 180 degrees celcius or until golden brown! Half way through give them a flip so that they crisp up evenly on both sides. Turn the temperature up to 250 degrees for the last 10 minutes for the ultimate baked homemade french fries!
