Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by washing and peeling the Russet potatoes (if desired). Cut them into even-sized sticks about 1/4 inch in thickness to ensure even cooking.
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, which aids in achieving a crispier texture.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel. Make sure there is no excess water as it can hinder the crisping process.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potato sticks with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together well to ensure each fry is evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a couple of minutes.
Place the seasoned fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can prevent them from crisping properly.
Cook the fries at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, shaking or turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve immediately for the best texture.
