Ingredients
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes if desired, then cut them lengthwise into even-sized sticks, about 1/4-inch thick. This ensures all fries cook evenly.
Step 2
Soak the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes—this helps remove excess starch, producing crispier fries. If time allows, soak for up to an hour.
Step 3
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika. Add the potatoes and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C). This gives the fries a head start on achieving that desired crispiness.
Step 6
Place the seasoned potato sticks in the air fryer's basket in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you might need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7
Cook the fries for 10 minutes, then remove the basket and give it a shake or use tongs to flip the fries. Return the basket to the air fryer, cooking for an additional 8 to 10 minutes until fries are golden and crispy.
Step 8
Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary, but remember to keep it low sodium!
Step 9
For an added touch of freshness, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the fries before serving.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side or snack, enjoying the crisp texture without the excess sodium.
