Description

Enjoy the ultimate cozy fall favorite with these easy-to-follow Crispiest Air Fryer French Fries, perfect for dipping into your favorite sauces.


Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or halal vegetable oil)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prep the potatoes by washing them thoroughly and slicing into even strips.
  2. Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. Dry the potatoes by draining and patting them down with a clean kitchen towel.
  4. Season the fries by tossing them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  5. Air fry the fries at 380°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Check for crispiness; they should be golden brown.
  7. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

Choose russet potatoes for maximum crispiness. Soaking is crucial for texture. Cook in batches to avoid sogginess.
