Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Slice potatoes in half lengthways, then slice into thin strips that resemble fries. NOTE: be careful not to slice them too thin or they will burn.
- Place the potato slices in a large bowl, then cover with water and allow them to soak for 20 minutes, which helps remove excess starch and helps them crisp up better. Once the 20 minutes is up, drain the potatoes and transfer them to a clean towel and pat them dry as best you can.
- Wipe the bowl until it’s dry, then place the potatoes back in and add the olive oil and salt; toss to combine.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (this should take about 3 minutes), then spray the basket with nonstick spray. Place HALF of the potatoes in a single layer or as close to it as you can get. Air fry for 15 minutes, tossing halfway through. Repeat this same process with the remaining potato slices.
- Transfer the fries to a serving plate or bowl, serve with your favorite condiment(s) and enjoy!
