Ingredients

• 2 lbs russet potatoes
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Optional: parmesan, truffle oil, vinegar for serving

Instructions

1. Wash and cut potatoes into 1/4-inch batons (stick shape)
2. Soak cut potatoes in water for 30 minutes (removes starch)
3. Drain and pat very dry with paper towels
4. Toss with avocado oil in a bowl
5. Season with salt, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper
6. Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes
7. Place fries in air fryer basket in single layer
8. Cook for 15 minutes
9. Shake basket and cook for 5-10 more minutes
10. Fries should be golden brown and crispy
11. Remove to a plate
12. Optional: toss with truffle oil or parmesan

Tips for Success

• Soak potatoes to remove starch - this is key
• Pat completely dry - moisture prevents crispiness
• Don't overcrowd basket
• Shake basket at least once during cooking
• Eat immediately for best crispness
• Much healthier than deep-fried (90% less oil)
