Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Begin by washing and peeling the russet potatoes. For a rustic feel, you may opt to leave the skin on.
Cut the potatoes into even sticks, around 1/4 inch thick. A mandoline slicer can help achieve consistent thickness.
Submerge the potato sticks in a bowl of cold water. This will remove excess starch and help achieve crispiness. Soak for at least 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3 to 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, toss the dried potatoes with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Then add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix thoroughly.
Arrange the fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Cook the fries in the preheated air fryer at 380°F (193°C) for approximately 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, shake the basket or turn the fries to promote even crisping. Continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Check for doneness and adjust seasoning if necessary. Depending on your preference, you might add more salt for taste.
Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce. Enjoy your healthy and crispy air-fried French fries!
