- 2 russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized strips, about 1/4-inch thick and 3-4 inches long.
- Place the potato strips in a large bowl and soak in cold water for 30 minutes. This will help to remove some of the starch and make the fries crispier.
- Drain the potato strips and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Place the potato strips in a bowl and toss with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Place the potato strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry for 12-15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
- For extra crispy fries, double the amount of olive oil.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. If you need to cook the fries in batches, do so.
- Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Let the fries cool slightly before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy.
