Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 380°F for best crisping.
- Wash and slice potatoes into even fries. Soak them in cold water for 10 to 20 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain and pat potatoes completely dry.
- Toss fries in a bowl with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Lightly oil the air fryer basket and spread fries in a single layer.
- Air fry for 14 to 18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even crisping.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
- Soaking the fries is key for extra crispiness.
- Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the basket.
- Drying the potatoes well prevents steaming and helps them brown.
- Add fresh herbs, parmesan, or extra spices after cooking for more flavor.
