Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt substitute (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into equal-sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl filled with cold water. Soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving crispy fries.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Make sure they are completely dry to avoid steaming instead of crisping.
Step 4
In a large bowl, toss the dried potato strips with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt substitute (if using). Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the oiled potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
Step 6
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 7
Place the seasoned potato strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure proper airflow and crispiness.
Step 8
Cook the fries in the air fryer for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
Step 9
Once cooked to your desired level of crispiness, remove from the air fryer and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish or a standalone snack. Enjoy!
