Air Fryer Spicy Peri-Peri Fries
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon chile powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic granules
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
Instructions
1
First, take the potatoes and peel them thoroughly.
2
Next, cut the peeled potatoes into thin slices of approximately 3/8 inch thickness.
3
Subsequently, place the sliced potatoes in a large container filled with cold water to allow excess starch to be washed away for 15 minutes.
4
After that, take the potatoes out of the water and gently pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
5
While the potatoes are drying, prepare the seasoning blend by mixing together paprika, chile powder, minced garlic, white pepper, and salt in a small bowl; set it aside for later use.
6
In the meantime, preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for a period of 5 minutes to ensure optimal performance.
7
Once the air fryer is preheated, place the sliced potatoes into a separate bowl and add grapeseed oil; mix them well to coat evenly.
8
Next, pour the potato mixture into the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally to prevent uneven cooking.
9
After that, increase the temperature of the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and continue cooking until the potatoes are golden brown, taking an additional 12 to 15 minutes.
10
Once cooked, transfer the fries into a serving bowl and sprinkle with the prepared seasoning blend; gently shake the bowl to ensure an even distribution of the seasonings.
11
Finally, taste the fries and adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary to achieve the desired flavor.
12
Serve the crispy fries immediately and enjoy!
