Main Ingredients:

2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into strips 

Supplementary Ingredients:
1–2 tablespoons olive oil (or any vegetable oil)

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for color and flavor)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)

Fresh or dried parsley (optional, for garnish)

Production Methods:

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into even strips (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick).

Soak the potato strips in cold water for 20–30 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps them get crispier.

Step 2: Dry and Season
Drain and thoroughly dry the potato strips using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Place in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat.

Add salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like (such as paprika or garlic powder). Mix well.

Step 3: Air Fry
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.

Place the fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd (cook in batches if needed).

Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 4: Serve
Once golden and crispy, remove the fries from the air fryer.

Sprinkle with a little more salt if desired.

Garnish with parsley or serve with ketchup, mayo, or dipping sauce of your choice.

Tips:

Thinner fries = crispier texture, but check often to avoid burning.

Soaking and drying are key steps to achieving the best crispiness.

For extra crispiness, increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C) for the last 2–3 minutes.
