Ingredients

  • 2 large potatoes
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into fry-shaped pieces.
  2. Soak the potato strips in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. Drain and pat dry the potatoes thoroughly with paper towels.
  4. Toss the potato strips with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and spray the basket with cooking spray or olive oil.
  6. Place the seasoned potato strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded.
  7. Air fry at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness.
  8. Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove from the air fryer and season with additional salt if needed.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy your crispy air fryer fries!
