Ingredients 

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, about 4 medium
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoons kosher salt, seasoning salt
  • 0.3 teaspoons celery salt
  • 0.3 teaspoons garlic powder, seasoning salt
  • 0.3 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 cups mayonnaise, for ShackSauce
  • 1 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoons pickle brine
  • 1 pinch cayenne, for ShackSauce

Instructions

  • Make the ShackSauce: Stir together 0.5 cups mayonnaise(for ShackSauce), 1 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoons ketchup1 tablespoons yellow mustard, 1 teaspoons pickle brine, and 1 pinch cayenne(for ShackSauce). Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving.
  • Cut the potatoes: Scrub 2 pounds russet potatoes (about 4 medium) clean. Using a crinkle cutter knife, slice into fries about ¼ to ⅓ inch thick. Keep them uniform so they cook evenly.
  • Soak in cold water: Place the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 20–30 minutes, (up to 2 hours). This removes excess starch for crispier fries. Don't skip this step.
  • Dry and season: Drain and pat the fries completely dry with paper towels. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil, 1 teaspoons kosher salt, 0.5 teaspoons black pepper 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder, and 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika until every fry is evenly coated.
  • Air fry: Air fry at 380°F in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Cook for 18–20 minutes, shaking the basket every 6–7 minutes, until the ridges are deep golden brown and crispy. (Oven method: bake at 425°F on a wire rack for 25–30 minutes, flipping once.)
  • Season and serve: While the fries are hot, immediately toss with the seasoning salt: 1 teaspoons kosher salt (seasoning salt), 0.3 teaspoons celery salt, 0.3 teaspoons garlic powder (seasoning salt), 0.3 teaspoons onion powder and 1 pinch cayenne pepper Serve right away with ShackSauce or your dipping sauce of choice.

Notes

Notes

For extra crispy fries, soak the potatoes overnight in the fridge. Always season while hot — the salt sticks much better. Leftover fries reheat well in the air fryer at 375°F for 4–5 minutes. Skip the microwave or they'll go soggy.
