Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 liter Water
- 1 tray Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Start by washing and peeling the russet potatoes. Cut them into even strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.
In a large bowl, prepare a cold water bath by adding 1 liter of water and ice cubes from one tray. Submerge the potato slices in the ice water for 15 minutes. This step removes excess starch and helps achieve a crispier fry.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. It's important the potatoes are dry before air frying.
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
In a dry bowl, combine salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix the seasonings evenly.
Toss the dried potato slices in the seasoning blend, ensuring each slice is coated evenly.
Place the seasoned potato sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overlap. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 25 minutes or until golden and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
Once done, remove from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve immediately for the best texture.
