How to Make Ancho Chile Fries

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil and lightly grease it.
2. Wash and cut 2 pounds of russet potatoes in half lengthwise. Then, cut each half into 1/4-inch thick slabs.
3. Cut the slabs lengthwise into fries. Gently pat the fries completely dry with paper towels and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons ancho chile powder, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
5. Pour the spice mixture over the potatoes and gently toss to coat evenly using your hands or tongs. Make sure all fries are well-coated.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they are golden brown, crispy, and cooked through. Baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them.
