Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing and peeling the russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized strips to ensure even cooking. Aim for about 1/4 inch thickness.
Step 2
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
Step 3
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry using paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth.
Step 4
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potato strips with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss them well to ensure all strips are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 6
Place the seasoned potato strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer basket.
Step 7
Cook the fries at 380°F (193°C) for 15 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even frying.
Step 8
After 15 minutes, increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F (204°C) and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy to your liking.
Step 9
Check for seasoning and add more salt if needed before serving.
Step 10
Serve immediately with your favorite paleo-friendly dipping sauce or enjoy them plain.
