2 large russet potatoes (or 3 medium)
1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
¼ tsp paprika (optional)
(For extra crispiness, soak potatoes in cold water for 30 mins first!)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cut the Potatoes
Slice into ¼-inch thick sticks (keep them even for uniform cooking).
2. Soak (Optional but Recommended)
Soak in cold water for 30 mins to remove starch (dries them better).
Pat very dry with a towel.
3. Season & Air Fry
Toss fries with oil, salt, and spices.
Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 12-15 mins, shaking halfway, until golden.
4. Serve Hot!
Sprinkle with extra salt and dip in ketchup, aioli, or ranch.
