Scale
- 4 large Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch sticks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
- Place the fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Cook for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
- Check for desired crispiness; if needed, cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the fries and serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
