Equipment

  • Air fryer

Ingredients

  • 4 nr large potatoes preferably yellow flesh
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
  • q.b. Salt
  • q.b. Black pepper
  • q.b. Paprika optional
  • q.b. Fresh rosemary optional

Instructions

  • Start by washing and peeling the potatoes. Cut them into sticks about 1 cm thick
  • Place the potato sticks in a bowl with cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This step is crucial to remove excess starch and get crispier fries.
  • After soaking, drain the potatoes and dry them with a clean cloth or paper towels. It’s important they are well dried for optimal cooking.
  • In a bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optionally paprika and rosemary. Ensure each stick is well coated.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Once hot, arrange the fries in the basket in a single layer, avoiding overlapping.
  • Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning.
  • When the fries are golden and crispy, remove from the fryer and serve hot, maybe sprinkled with extra salt or a dip of your choice.
