Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Prep the Potatoes:
- Wash and peel the potatoes (optional) and cut them into thin strips about 1/4-inch thick.
Soak the Fries:
- Place the potato strips in a bowl of cold water and soak for 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
Season the Fries:
- Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a towel. Transfer them to a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Cook the Fries:
- Place the seasoned fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer).
- Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Serve:
- Once done, remove the fries from the air fryer and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
