How to Make Skinny Fries
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Scrub potatoes thoroughly and cut lengthwise into 3 equal slices. Then, cut each slice into thirds or fourths to create skinny fries.
- As you cut the potatoes, immediately place them in a large bowl of ice water for 10-15 minutes.
- Drain the ice water completely and pat the potatoes very dry with paper towels. This is crucial for crispiness!
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Make sure the fries are evenly coated.
- Lightly spray a large baking sheet or jelly roll pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Arrange the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with extra salt and pepper to taste (optional).
