Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - 2 large russet potatoes
  • - 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • - 1 teaspoon salt
  • - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • - Optional seasonings e.g., garlic powder, paprika, or onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Instructions:
  • Begin by washing and peeling the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, to guarantee they cook evenly.
  • Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  • After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel. Removing moisture is essential for achieving crispiness.
  • In a separate bowl, toss the dried potato strips with olive oil, salt, and any additional seasonings you desire until they're evenly coated.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes. Once preheated, add the seasoned potato strips to the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they aren't overcrowded.
  • Cook the fries for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to guarantee even cooking. Check for desired crispiness, and cook longer if necessary.
  • Once cooked, remove the fries from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade air fryer French fries with your favorite dipping sauce!
  • For extra tips, consider experimenting with different types of potatoes or even sweet potatoes for a unique twist.
  • Remember that cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your fries and the specific air fryer model, so keep an eye on them as they cook. Additionally, feel free to try out various seasoning blends to find your perfect flavor combination!
