Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Slice them into evenly sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick, for uniform cooking.
Fill a large bowl with cold water and soak the potato strips for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove some of the starch, resulting in crispier fries.
Drain and rinse the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove all moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potato strips with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Toss to coat the fries evenly with the seasonings.
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C). This usually takes about 3 minutes, depending on your air fryer model.
Place the seasoned potato strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook the fries in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Air fry the potato strips for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
After 15 minutes, check the fries for desired crispiness. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes if needed, shaking the basket every 5 minutes.
When the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
