Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2-3 medium Russet Potatoes Peeled and cut into fries.
- 1-2 tablespoons Olive Oil For coating the fries.
- 1 teaspoon Salt To season the fries.
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly ground.
Optional Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Optional for added flavor.

- 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper Optional for heat.
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your potatoes. Rinse them under cold water, peel, and cut into even strips, about ¼ inch thick.
- Soak the potato strips in a large bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potato strips with olive oil and toss until evenly coated.
- Season the fries with salt and black pepper, and any additional seasonings you prefer. Toss again to distribute.
- Place the seasoned fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Once golden brown and crispy, remove the fries from the air fryer and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
For variations, try adding Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, or different spices to customize your fries.
