Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into evenly-sized sticks or wedges, approximately half an inch thick.
Step 2
Place the cut potatoes into a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 10 minutes. This will help remove excess starch, making them crispier.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and pat them very dry with a towel or paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. It's important not to overcrowd them to ensure they cook evenly. Cook in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Air fry the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
Step 8
Check for doneness: the fries should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender inside. Adjust cooking time if necessary, depending on the size and thickness of the fries.
Step 9
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or additional seasoning if desired.
