Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
Spice Blend:
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leave the skin on for a more authentic Five Guys experience. Cut the potatoes into 1/4 inch, thin, uniform-sized fries. You can use a sharp knife or a French fry cutter for this.
- Add the cut fries to a bowl of ice-cold water. This will help remove the excess starch and help them crisp up in the air fryer. Soak for 20-30 minutes, then drain, and pat them dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel.
- Add the potatoes to a large bowl, and then add the olive oil, toss well to coat. Then add the spice coating, and toss again.
- Spray the air fryer basket wtih cooking spray, or line the air fryer basket with parchment paper. Add the seasoned french fries in a single layer to the bottom of the air fryer basket, set the cooking temperature to 390 degrees F, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Add some seasoning salt right before serving.
