These baked fries are come out so crispy and delicious with a special spicy garlic seasoning that adds loads of flavor and a little kick with cayenne pepper
Rinse the potatoes and peel if desired. I like to take just a little of the skin off with a knife leaving some on. Slice into 1/2 inch slices, then chop into 1/2 inch straws. I like to stack to get the job done quicker!
As you chop, have a bowl filled with cold water by, and dump the fries into the water as you go.
Soak for at least 30 minutes. You can soak overnight in the fridge if you want to get more of the starch out.
In a bowl, combine the garlic salt, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
When your potatoes are done soaking, Preheat your oven to 450F, and strain the potatoes out. Place on a towel.
Cover the potatoes with the towel and press down firmly to soak up any additional water. This will decrease any steam while baking to give you a crispy fry.
Place in a dry bowl and drizzle with olive oil and about 1 tsp of the spicy garlic seasoning. Toss for a few seconds until evenly spread.
Place on a baking sheet, trying not to over crowd. You may need an additional baking sheet for the whole batch of fries.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries once halfway through. When they're done, place them back in the bowl you used to season, add about another tsp of seasoning and toss.
