Ingredients
- 1 pound potatoes
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Scrub potatoes, peel if desired, and slice into 1/2-inch strips.
- Place potatoes into a bowl and cover with cold water. Let the potatoes soak for at least 15 minutes to extract some of the starch.
- Preheat your oven to 425˚F.
- Add the avocado oil, taco seasoning, paprika, and pepper to a large bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.
- Drain potatoes, rinse, and dry well with a kitchen towel.
- Add the potatoes to the large bowl and toss to mix with the seasoned oil.
- Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on two baking sheets. Bake in a preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, until crispy. Turn once during baking so the fries brown evenly. Begin watching them at the 30-minute mark, because some potatoes cook faster than others.
- Remove from the oven and, add salt to taste, and serve warm with homemade marinara sauce, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce.
