Ingredients Directions

Potato 3 Russet Potatoes 1 tsp dried parsley 2 Garlic cloves, minced 3 Tbsp Lemon juice 1 tsp Paprika 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp of black pepper 1 tsp Salt Optional: 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro Either option 2 tbsp of olive oil or, Melted butter

Dipping sauce 1 tbsp mayonnaise 1 tbsp ketchup ½ tsp of hot sauce 1. Preheat your oven/air fryer to 400 F, 2. Grab your potatoes and peel off the skin 3. Once peeled, use your chopping board and cut all sides of the potato so that you can flatten the surface on all edges, creating a cuboid shape 4. Once that is complete, slice the potato into ½” or ¼ inch” pieces, creating multiple slices of thick squares 5. Next, use a chopstick and place it beside the squared slice of thick potato, use your knife to slice the potato horizontally until it hits the chopstick (approximately halfway through), and then do the same slit the opposite way by rotating the potato- make sure to use the chopstick as a guide to not cut all the way through the potato 6. The surface of the potato should look like a Rubix cube or a grid 7. Set the potatoes aside 8. For the leftover pieces that you used to flatten the surfaces of the potato, they can be sliced into strips and put in the air fryer as additional fries ( bonus!) 9. In a bowl, toss all the rest of the ingredients ( dried parsley, minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, salt, onion powder, lemon juice, oil/butter) 10. Add the potatoes and mix them into the mixture, making sure it is fully covered 11. Once that is complete, add your parchment paper to your tray or air fryer bucket 12. If using the oven, place it in for 20 minutes ( or until golden brown on the surface) 13. If using an air fryer, place it at 400F for 10 minutes, then flip the potatoes and put the air fryer temperature at 375F for 8 minutes. For a crispier bite, leave it in at 350F for an additional 3 minutes. 14. While the potatoes are baking, use a custard cup and add the measurements for the dipping sauce and mix them together well 15. Now that the dipping sauce is ready, check on your potatoes making sure they are golden brown, and when tested with a knife tender on the inside, take it out and bon appetit!
