These deliciously addictive fries are crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle, and coated with a savory dusting of salt and seasonings. And thanks to the air fryer, they’re mess-free and ultra healthy!
Scrub your potatoes clean. If desired, peel them (I prefer to leave the skins on for a crispier texture). Cut the potatoes into uniform, 1/4-inch-thick or 1/2-inch-thick strips. Rinse the potatoes with cold water and pat dry.
Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, add the olive oil, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika and toss to coat.
Working in batches, place the potatoes in the air fryer basket and spread out in a single layer, leaving a little space between each piece. Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, until crispy, flipping halfway through cooking. If your fries aren’t yet crispy, air fry for a little longer.
Once you’ve cooked all batches of fries, place them all back in the air fryer and air fry for 1 to 2 more minutes to reheat and re-crisp.
Season to taste with salt, black pepper, and additional seasonings if desired.
