Description
Delicious and crispy air fryer fries made from fresh russet potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large russet potatoes, peeled and cut lengthwise
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl with cold water.
- Allow the potatoes to soak in the water for at least 30 minutes, preferably an hour.
- Drain the water from the bowl. Dry the fries completely with paper towels.
- Coat the fries with olive oil. You can toss them in a large bowl or spread the fries onto a flat surface and coat them. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and optional seasoning salt.
- Add half of the fries to the Air Fryer basket. Adjust the temperature to 380 degrees and cook for 15-20 minutes. Set a timer for 10 minutes and stop and shake the basket at the 10-minute mark (once).
- Use your judgment. If the fries need to be crisper, allow to cook for additional time. If the fries look crisp prior to 15 minutes, remove them.
- When the first half finishes, cook the remaining half (if necessary).
- Cool before serving.
Notes
- Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the Air Fryer basket.
- The cooking time may vary based on the size of your air fryer.
