Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
- Wash and Peel: Rinse the russet potatoes under cold water and peel if desired.
- Cut into Fries: Slice the potatoes into evenly sized strips, about ¼ inch thick.
Step 2: Soak and Season
- Soak in Water: Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
- Dry: Drain and pat the potato strips dry with paper towels.
- Season: In a large bowl, toss the dried potato strips with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Step 3: Air Fry
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Cook the Fries: Place the fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
Step 4: Serve
- Garnish and Enjoy: Once golden brown and crispy, remove from the air fryer, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
