Ingredients:
- 2 medium russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
Instructions:
- Prep the Potatoes: Scrub the potatoes clean. You can peel them or leave the skin on. Cut them into even, ¼-inch thick sticks.
- Soak (Key Step): Place the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water. Soak for at least 30 minutes. This removes excess starch, which is crucial for crispiness. Drain and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Season: In a dry bowl, toss the dried potato sticks with olive oil, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- First Cook: Place the fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they aren't crowded. Air fry at 380°F (195°C) for 15 minutes.
- Shake: Pull out the basket and shake the fries well to promote even cooking.
- Final Crisp: Increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C). Air fry for another 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Season and Serve: Immediately transfer the fries to a bowl, season generously with salt, and toss. Serve right away for the best texture.
