Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes.
Step 2
Cut the potatoes into even strips, about 1/4 inch wide, to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 3
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and soak for 10-15 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
Step 4
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
Step 5
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove all moisture.
Step 6
In a large bowl, toss the dried potato strips with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika if using, making sure each fry is evenly coated.
Step 7
Place the seasoned potato strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 8
Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking process to ensure even crisping.
Step 9
Once golden and crispy, remove the fries from the air fryer and serve immediately. Taste and add additional salt, if desired, before serving.
