Ingredients:

• Potatoes (Russet potatoes work best 🥔)

• Olive oil or cooking spray 🧴

• Salt 🧂

• Optional: Garlic powder, paprika, or onion powder for extra flavor 🌶️🧄

Instructions:

1. Prep the Potatoes:

   • Wash your potatoes thoroughly (peeling is optional). Cut them into uniform sticks or wedges, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Keeping the size consistent ensures even cooking! 🍽️

2. Soak for Crispiness:

   • Soak the potato sticks in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps the fries crisp up beautifully. 🕒💧

3. Dry and Oil:

   • Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. The drier they are, the crispier they’ll get! Now, drizzle them with olive oil or give them a quick spritz with cooking spray. Toss to coat evenly. 🧴✨

4. Preheat the Air Fryer:

   • Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for a few minutes. 🔥

5. Cook the Fries:

   • Arrange the potato sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket (don’t overcrowd them). Cook for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Keep an eye on them to ensure they’re golden brown and crispy! 🕰️👀

6. Season & Serve:

   • Once the fries are crispy, season with salt and any extra seasonings you like (garlic powder, paprika, etc.). Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mayo, or aioli. 🍅🍽️
