Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut the potatoes into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick, for uniform cooking.
Step 2
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes, which helps to remove excess starch and ensures crispier fries.
Step 3
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to avoid steaming in the air fryer.
Step 4
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes while you season the potatoes.
Step 5
In a large bowl, toss the dry potatoes with avocado oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 6
Place the seasoned potato sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook in batches if necessary for optimal crispiness.
Step 7
Cook the fries at 380°F (193°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking and to check for desired crispiness.
Step 8
Once cooked, adjust seasoning with additional sea salt to taste if necessary and serve immediately.
