Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick to resemble classic fries.
Soak the potato strips in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This step is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness.
After soaking, drain and pat the potatoes very dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Add the salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper, tearing and mixing until the fries are well seasoned.
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3 minutes.
Place the seasoned fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding, which ensures even cooking and crispiness.
Cook in the air fryer at 380°F (193°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking time to ensure even crisping.
Check the fries at 15 minutes; depending on your preference, you might want to cook them for an additional 5 minutes for extra crispiness.
Once done, remove the fries from the air fryer and adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed while they're hot.
Serve immediately while crispy and hot.
