Cooking Method

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) or air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat completely dry.
Toss the potatoes with olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and oregano.
Arrange the fries in a single layer on a baking tray or air fryer basket.
Bake for 35–40 minutes (or air-fry for 18–20 minutes), turning halfway through until crispy and golden.
Remove from the oven and garnish with parsley, chili flakes, or Parmesan cheese if desired.
