Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing the Russet potatoes to remove any dirt.
Step 2
Peel the potatoes if desired, but leaving the skin on provides extra crispiness and texture.
Step 3
Cut the potatoes into even strips about 1/4 inch thick to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 4
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl filled with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving a crispier fry.
Step 5
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
Step 6
In a large bowl, toss the dried potato sticks with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil until they are evenly coated.
Step 7
Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss well to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Step 8
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 9
Place the potato sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer. It's important not to overcrowd the basket, so you may need to cook them in batches.
Step 10
Air fry the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 11
Once the fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and transfer to a serving dish.
Step 12
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt if necessary before serving immediately for the best texture.
