Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into evenly-sized sticks or wedges, approximately half an inch thick.
Place the cut potatoes into a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 10 minutes. This will help remove excess starch, making them crispier.
Drain the potatoes and pat them very dry with a towel or paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. It's important not to overcrowd them to ensure they cook evenly. Cook in batches if necessary.
Air fry the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
Check for doneness: the fries should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender inside. Adjust cooking time if necessary, depending on the size and thickness of the fries.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or additional seasoning if desired.
