Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick, to create classic French fry shapes.
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 10 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large bowl, toss the dried potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the seasoned potato strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding, which helps them cook evenly and become crispy.
Air fry the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket or tossing the fries halfway through for even cooking. Cook until they are golden brown and crispy to your liking.
Transfer the fries to a serving platter and serve hot. Enjoy them with your favorite low sodium condiments or dipping sauces.
