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 heat)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is key to achieving those perfectly crispy edges on your potato fingers.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by washing and peeling the potatoes to remove any dirt and skins. Cut each potato into thin, uniform strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, to resemble fingers.

      Soak and Rinse: To enhance the crispiness, soak the cut potato strips in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes. This process removes excess starch. After soaking, drain the water and rinse the potato strips again under cold water. Pat them completely dry with a kitchen towel to remove moisture, which is crucial for achieving that crunchy texture.

        Make the Seasoning Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if you desire a little kick). Stir the ingredients together until they form a well-blended marinade.

          Coat the Potatoes: Add the dried potato strips to the marinade in the bowl. Toss them gently but thoroughly, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the flavorful spice mix.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup after baking. Spread the coated potato fingers out in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they are not touching or overlapping. This will help them crisp up beautifully.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Flip the potato fingers halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly and develop a lovely golden brown color.

                Garnish and Serve: Once the baking time is over, remove the crispy potato fingers from the oven. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before garnishing with freshly chopped parsley. Serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch, or a spicy aioli.
