Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 russet potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch sticks
Seasoning
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Sea salt, to taste
- Fresh herbs, for garnish (optional)
- Ketchup, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F to ensure even and crispy cooking of the fries.
- Prepare the potatoes: Drizzle the sliced potatoes with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle sea salt over them. Toss thoroughly to evenly coat all pieces with oil and salt.
- Air fry in batches: Arrange the potatoes in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching to allow crisping. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking and crispiness. If fries are not yet crispy, continue air frying for a few more minutes as needed.
- Re-crisp fries: After all batches are cooked, combine them together and place back into the air fryer (no need to spread in a single layer) for 1 to 2 minutes to warm and re-crisp any fries that cooled during cooking.
- Serve: Transfer the fries to a serving dish and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot with ketchup or your preferred dips.
Notes
- Cut potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches for best results.
- Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model and potato thickness.
- Try different seasonings such as paprika, garlic powder, or black pepper for variety.
- Use fresh herbs like rosemary or parsley to enhance flavor.
