Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. For the best fries, try to find potatoes that are similar in size.
Step 2
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick. Consistent size ensures that they cook evenly.
Step 3
Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry to avoid steaming instead of frying.
Step 5
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes while you season the fries.
Step 6
In a large bowl, toss the potato sticks with the olive oil, sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Ensure each fry is evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
Step 7
Arrange the fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 8
Air fry the potato sticks at 380°F (193°C) for 20-25 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
Step 9
Check for doneness at around 20 minutes. The fries should be golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender on the inside.
Step 10
Once the fries are done, remove them carefully from the air fryer. Season with additional sea salt to taste, if desired.
Step 11
Serve the Whole30 Air Fryer French Fries immediately while they're hot and crispy. Enjoy!
