Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut each one into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick. Keep them consistent for even cooking.
- Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes, then drain and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a large mixing bowl (4-quart), toss the dried potato strips with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and if using, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon paprika until well coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the potato strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy, checking for doneness.
- Serve immediately in a big bowl and enjoy!
