Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs golden potatoes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • squeeze of fresh lemon, to taste
  • 2 tsp dried dill
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Wash and dry potatoes, then slice potatoes into fries while leaving the skin on. The skin is high in fiber and super good for you!
  • Soak fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to remove potato starch and gets your fries crispy, but is totally optional!
  • Preheat your oven to 400° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Once soaked, drain and dry your fries, then transfer to a dry bowl.
  • Top with avocado oil or olive oil, lemon, spices, salt and pepper then mix together. Feel free to add any other spices you like at this time and adjust measurements as needed!
  • Line the fries in a single layer on the sheet ensuring that none of the fries are overlapping.
  • Cook for 40 minutes, checking on them towards the end of the bake time to see if they need to be removed early or if they should bake longer. Depending on the thickness of your fries as well as your oven, bake time can differ!
  • If you want your fries even crispier after that, feel free to broil them for a few minutes, but be sure to keep an eye on them!
  • I like to serve mine with homemade tzatziki. Enjoy!
