How to Make Bengali Style Oven Fried Potatoes

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly grease two oven racks with cooking spray. Alternatively, line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Wash 1 lb (450g) of potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry.
  4. Slice the potatoes lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick sticks, or crosswise into 1/3-inch thick rounds (or a mix!).
  5. In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin powder, 1/4 teaspoon of red chili powder (adjust to taste), 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  6. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared oven racks or baking sheets. Avoid overcrowding.
  7. Place the racks in the center of the preheated oven.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional).
