• 1 tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 tsp white pepper
• ¼ tsp allspice

2. Remove potato strips and dry them thoroughly. Preheat oven to 475 °F.
3. Place garlic powder, onion powder, salt, white pepper, allspice, and pepper flakes in a plastic bag. Toss the potato strips in the spice mixture.
4. Put the potato strips in a shallow baking pan, and brush them with oil.
5. Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil, and bake at 475 °F for 15 minutes.
6. Remove the foil, and continue baking, uncovered, for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Turn fries occasionally to brown on all sides.
