Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes thoroughly.
Slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick sticks to resemble traditional French fry cuts.
Place the cut potato sticks in a large bowl and fill with cold water. Soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them crisp up.
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potatoes, avocado oil, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potato sticks are evenly coated.
Arrange the potato sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to less crispy fries.
Air fry the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy to your liking.
Once cooked, remove the fries from the air fryer and let cool slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, if needed.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your Paleo-friendly crispy air-fried French fries!
