- Prep Time:10m
- Cook Time:20m
- Serves: 2 servings
- Category: Sides, Vegan, Vegetarian
Ingredients
- 6 yukon gold potatoes, cut into thin fries
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- pepper, to taste
- 1/4 c loosely packed cilantro leaves, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, and get a baking sheet with rack ready (if no rack, just line with foil/parchment paper and drizzle with olive oil. Cut the potatoes into fries and place in a bowl of cold water to soak for a few minutes.
- Drain the water and dry the fries with paper towel. Once dry, toss the fries with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Lay on a baking sheet in a single layer, preferably one that has a cooking rack so the fries can have the air circulating all around them (and no need to flip.) Bake for 20-25 minutes depending on your oven and how crispy you like your fries. If using a baking sheet without a rack, halfway through the cooking time, flip the fries.
- Once done, toss fries with cilantro in a bowl.
- Enjoy by the handful!
