Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and your favorite seasonings to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Potatoes
Start by prepping your spuds. Peel those potatoes if you’re feeling fancy, or leave the skin on for some rustic charm. Slice them into classic fries or go wild with wedges—your call!
Step 2: Soak the Potatoes
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for about 30 minutes. This helps them get ultra-crispy!
Step 3: Drain and Dry
Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Less moisture = crispier fries.
Step 4: Season the Potatoes
Toss those potatoes in a bowl with the olive oil and your favorite seasonings. Make sure they’re well-coated.
Step 5: Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Once it’s hot, lay the potato slices in a single layer in the basket. Work in batches if needed.
Step 6: Cook the Fries
Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crispiness. Keep an eye on them; they’re done when they’re golden and irresistible!
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Let them cool slightly (if you can wait!) and dive into fry heaven with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Note 1: Potato Variety
Russet potatoes are best for achieving that crispy texture, but feel free to experiment with other types.
Note 2: Seasoning Options
Try using garlic powder, paprika, or even Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
Note 3: Air Fryer Variability
Cooking times may vary based on your air fryer model, so adjust accordingly for optimal crispiness.
Note 4: Storage
Leftover fries can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days, but they are best enjoyed fresh!
