Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to preference)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Optional: paprika, onion powder, or your favorite seasonings
Instructions
- Wash and peel the potatoes if desired. Cut into evenly-sized sticks or your preferred fry shapes.
- Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry thoroughly.
- Toss the dried potatoes in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any additional seasonings.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the seasoned potato sticks in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking or tossing halfway through, until fries are golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches for the best crispiness.
- Ensure potatoes are thoroughly dried to enhance crispiness.
- Shake the basket periodically to promote even cooking.
- Experiment with seasoning blends like paprika or onion powder for variety.
