Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Wash and scrub the potatoes. Cut them into 1/4-inch thick fries.
- Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch for crispier fries.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- In a bowl, toss the dried potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the seasoned fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, toss with garlic powder, paprika, or your favorite seasoning blend before air frying.
- Russet potatoes are recommended for their high starch content, which leads to a crispier fry.
- Ensure potatoes are completely dry before adding oil and seasoning for maximum crispiness.
