Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 liter Water
- 1 tray Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing and peeling the russet potatoes. Cut them into even strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.
Step 2
In a large bowl, prepare a cold water bath by adding 1 liter of water and ice cubes from one tray. Submerge the potato slices in the ice water for 15 minutes. This step removes excess starch and helps achieve a crispier fry.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. It's important the potatoes are dry before air frying.
Step 4
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
Step 5
In a dry bowl, combine salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix the seasonings evenly.
Step 6
Toss the dried potato slices in the seasoning blend, ensuring each slice is coated evenly.
Step 7
Place the seasoned potato sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overlap. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 8
Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 25 minutes or until golden and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
Step 9
Once done, remove from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve immediately for the best texture.
