Ingredients
Potatoes, 500 grams
Oil, 2 tsp
Red chili powder, 1 tsp
Paprika, 1 tsp
Chicken powder, 1 tsp
Salt, to taste
Directions
- Peel and cut potatoes into ¼” inch strands. Rinse under cold water. Optionally, soak for 15 minutes.
- Boil the potatoes until cooked through.
- Drain water and let the cooked potatoes dry.
- Toss the cooked potatoes with red chili powder, paprika, chicken powder, and salt to coat them evenly.
- Add half of the potatoes to the air fryer and drizzle 1 tsp oil over them.
- Cook the fries for 20 minutes, tossing halfway.
Notes
- Boiling the potatoes before air frying ensures all fries are cooked through. The fries cook faster this way which results in lower cooking times.
- You can store the air fried potatoes in the fridge for 3-5 days.
- To reheat refrigerated air fried potatoes, toss in the air fryer and cook at 180°C for 4-6 minutes.
