<h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). While waiting, thoroughly wash and dry the potatoes. It's important to ensure they're clean and dry to help achieve that coveted crispy texture.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, cut the potatoes into a waffle shape. To do this, slice the potato at a slight angle, then rotate it 90 degrees and slice again. Repeat this process till the entire potato has been sliced. For best results, soak the slices in cold water for about 5 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in crisping.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>
Drain the potato slices and pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel. It's crucial to remove as much moisture as possible.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>
In a large bowl, toss the dried potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated. This step ensures every fry is flavorful.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are not touching each other too much to allow for even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are crispy and golden brown. Halfway through the baking time, flip the fries to ensure they crisp up evenly on both sides.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>
Once done, remove the waffle potato fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on a wire rack. This helps them stay crispy. Taste and season with additional salt if needed.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>
Serve the waffle potato fries immediately while they are hot and crispy. Enjoy them as a snack, or pair with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side to your main dishes.
