Ingredients

• 2 large Russet potatoes
• 1.5 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes well under running water to remove all dirt. Do not peel to preserve nutrients.

Step 3

Using a waffle cut blade on a mandolin slicer, carefully slice the potatoes to create waffle shapes about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, dried oregano, and sea salt.

Step 5

Add the sliced potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are fully coated with the olive oil and seasoning mixture.

Step 6

Place the seasoned waffle fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

Step 7

Cook each batch for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the fries from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute before serving.

Step 9

Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the fries for added freshness and a pop of color.

Step 10

Serve your heart-healthy seasoned waffle fries warm as a delicious and guilt-free snack or side dish.
