- 4 medium potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)

Instructions:

1. Peel and wash the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into long strips about 1 cm thick.
2. Soak the potato strips in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch and make the fries crispier.
3. Drain the potatoes and dry them well with a kitchen towel.
4. Place the potatoes in a bowl and add olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and thyme. Mix well to evenly coat the potatoes with the spices.
5. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
