Ingredients
- 2 whole Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes thoroughly.
Step 2
Slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick sticks to resemble traditional French fry cuts.
Step 3
Place the cut potato sticks in a large bowl and fill with cold water. Soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them crisp up.
Step 4
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 5
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potatoes, avocado oil, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potato sticks are evenly coated.
Step 7
Arrange the potato sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to less crispy fries.
Step 8
Air fry the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy to your liking.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the fries from the air fryer and let cool slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, if needed.
Step 10
Serve immediately, and enjoy your Paleo-friendly crispy air-fried French fries!
