This recipe uses simple ingredients and delivers perfect results with minimal effort. Get ready to enjoy a batch of golden, crispy fries right at home!

Ingredients:

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into fries 🥔
• 2 tablespoons olive oil 🫒
• 1 teaspoon salt 🧂
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 🌶️
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 🧄
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika 🌶️

Instructions:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). This ensures your fries start cooking at the right temperature for that perfect crunch.
2. Season the fries: In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until they are evenly coated. This mixture will give your fries a flavorful kick.
3. Arrange the fries: Lay the fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding, which can lead to uneven cooking. You might need to cook them in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
4. Cooking time: Cook the fries for 15-20 minutes. Halfway through, give the basket a good shake. This step is crucial as it helps to cook the fries evenly on all sides.
5. Check for crispiness: After the initial cooking time, check the fries. If you prefer them crispier, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
6. Serve and enjoy: Remove the fries from the air fryer and serve them hot. They’re perfect as a snack or side dish with your favorite dipping sauces.

Cooking Tips:

• Slicing: Cut the fries uniformly to ensure even cooking.
• No Overcrowding: Cook in batches if necessary to allow air to circulate freely around the fries, ensuring they get crispy.

Nutritional Note:

Using olive oil and an air fryer reduces the amount of fat significantly compared to traditional deep-frying, making this a healthier choice for those who are calorie-conscious.
