Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Proper heating is crucial for achieving that crispy texture on your potato fingers.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Thoroughly wash and peel the potatoes. Slice each potato into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, resembling fingers.

      Soak and Rinse: Place the cut potato strips into a bowl of cold water and allow them to soak for about 30 minutes. This step helps remove excess starch, which is key to maximizing crispness. After soaking, drain the potatoes, rinse them under cold water, and pat them dry using a kitchen towel.

        Mix the Seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if you prefer some heat). Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated into a smooth marinade.

          Coat the Potatoes: Introduce the dried potato strips into the bowl with the seasoning mix. Toss them gently yet thoroughly to ensure each strip is evenly coated in the flavorful marinade.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to facilitate easy cleanup. Spread the seasoned potato fingers out in a single layer on the sheet, making sure they don’t overlap; this is essential for achieving maximum crispiness.

              Bake: Carefully place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake your potato fingers for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time. Keep an eye on them until they achieve a beautiful golden brown color and a crispy texture.

                Garnish and Serve: After baking, remove the potato fingers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. To finish, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color, and serve them alongside your favorite dipping sauce.
