Oven Potato Sticks
Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these oven-baked potato sticks are the ultimate snack or side dish. Seasoned just right and baked to perfection, they’re healthier than fries but just as satisfying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large Russet Potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and place baking sheet inside to heat.
- Peel and cut potatoes into thick sticks. Soak in cold water for 30 minutes.
- Drain and pat dry potatoes thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, toss the potato sticks with olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and oregano until evenly coated.
- Line hot baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

- Bake for 20 minutes, flip them, then bake another 15–20 minutes until golden and crisp.

Notes
- Soaking helps remove starch for extra crispiness.
- Preheating the tray gives a better crunch.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Cut potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate.
