Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato strips in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for at least 15 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them crisp up better.
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the dried potato strips with olive oil, ensuring that all pieces are well coated. Add salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3 minutes.
Place the seasoned potato strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can prevent crispiness.
Cook the fries at 380°F (193°C) for 25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
Check for doneness; the fries should be golden brown and crispy. If necessary, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Once cooked, remove the fries from the air fryer and serve hot. Adjust seasoning with more salt if desired.
