Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1.5 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes well under running water to remove all dirt. Do not peel to preserve nutrients.
Using a waffle cut blade on a mandolin slicer, carefully slice the potatoes to create waffle shapes about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, dried oregano, and sea salt.
Add the sliced potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are fully coated with the olive oil and seasoning mixture.
Place the seasoned waffle fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Cook each batch for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the fries from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute before serving.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the fries for added freshness and a pop of color.
Serve your heart-healthy seasoned waffle fries warm as a delicious and guilt-free snack or side dish.
