Description
Enjoy crispy and delicious French fries made healthier with an air fryer, using less oil for fewer calories.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Russet Potatoes
- 1–2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- Sea Salt to taste
- Optional Seasonings (e.g., garlic powder, smoked paprika, pepper, onion powder, cheese powder)
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: Wash and optionally peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even sticks or wedges.
- Soak the Fries: Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Dry the Fries: Drain and pat the potatoes dry using a clean kitchen towel.
- Toss in Olive Oil: In a large bowl, toss the dried potatoes with olive oil and seasonings until evenly coated.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat to 380°F (193°C) for crispiness.
- Air Fry the Potatoes: Arrange fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking halfway through.
- Check for Doneness: Test fries for desired crispiness and cook longer if necessary.
- Season and Serve: Remove fries, season with additional salt or toppings, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Ensure potatoes are dry before coating with oil for optimal crispiness. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
