Peel and cut the potatoes into ¼-inch strips. Soak them in ice water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then pat completely dry. This step ensures maximum crispiness.

Toss the potato strips lightly with olive oil. Arrange them in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Cook at 380–400°F for 12–16 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and crispy. Avoid overcrowding; steaming fries = no bueno.

In a small bowl, combine dill pickle powder, salt, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, citric acid, and green food coloring (if using). Mix well for even seasoning.

Place hot fries into a shaker bag or large bowl. Add the Grinch Salt and shake or toss until all fries are coated evenly.

Serve hot and enjoy! Pair with ketchup, ranch, or eat solo. Warning: they disappear fast
