Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized strips about 1/4 inch thick to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 2
Place the cut fries into a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and contributes to crispiness.
Step 3
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 4
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
Step 5
In a large bowl, toss the dried potato strips with olive oil, ensuring every piece is lightly coated.
Step 6
Add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper to the bowl. Toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly over the fries.
Step 7
Place the seasoned fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 8
Air fry the fries at 380°F (193°C) for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, shake the basket to turn the fries and return to cooking for an additional 10 minutes or until the fries are crisp and golden brown.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the fries and immediately season with more salt if desired. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Repeat with any remaining batches if necessary. Serve warm as a delicious side dish or snack.
