Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin fries
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, adjust to taste
Instructions
- Peel (optional) and cut russet potatoes into thin, even matchstick fries.
- Place fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain and thoroughly pat fries dry with paper towels to prevent sogginess.
- Toss the fries with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Set air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for 3 minutes.
- Arrange fries in a single layer in the basket (cook in batches if needed). Air fry for 16–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until fries are golden and crispy.
- Remove fries, season with extra salt if desired, and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
