Description

Scale

3 large russet potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Peel (optional) and cut potatoes into 1/4-inch thick matchsticks.
Soak the potato slices in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat completely dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, toss dried potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings.
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (195°C).
Place fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary).
Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until fries are golden and crispy.
Serve hot with ketchup, aioli, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Do not skip soaking the potatoes; it helps achieve maximum crispiness.
For extra crispy fries, cook in smaller batches without overcrowding.
Season immediately after cooking for best flavor.
