• 1 ½ Tbsp. Black pepper
• 2 tsp. Smoked Paprika

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Cut russet potatoes into quarters lengthwise.
3. Mix oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl with the potatoes. Toss until the potatoes are evenly covered.
4. Place on a sheet tray and cover with tin foil. Bake for 20 minutes.
5. Remove foil after 20 minutes and place back in the oven for another 15 minutes to achieve crispy texture.Toss fries in a bowl with paprika after baking.
   Chef’s Note: Paprika is a delicate spice. Sometimes on high heat with little liquid it can burn the spice. In this case I  added the paprika after the fries were baked to maintain the flavor.
