Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Wash and peel the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut the potatoes into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick, for uniform cooking.
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes, which helps to remove excess starch and ensures crispier fries.
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to avoid steaming in the air fryer.
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes while you season the potatoes.
In a large bowl, toss the dry potatoes with avocado oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until all pieces are evenly coated.
Place the seasoned potato sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook in batches if necessary for optimal crispiness.
Cook the fries at 380°F (193°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking and to check for desired crispiness.
Once cooked, adjust seasoning with additional sea salt to taste if necessary and serve immediately.
