Ingredients:
- 2 large (600g) Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch sticks
- 2 tbsp (30ml) avocado oil
- 1 tsp (5g) garlic powder
- 1 tsp (5g) paprika
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
Instructions:
- Soak sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Pat the potatoes completely dry with paper towels to ensure they crisp rather than steam.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the dried potatoes with avocado oil, garlic powder, paprika, and salt.
- Select the Air Fry function on the Ninja Crispi and set the temperature to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the seasoned fries into the basket, ensuring they are not piled more than halfway up to allow maximum airflow.
- Set the timer for 15 minutes.
- Every 5 minutes, remove the basket and shake vigorously to redistribute the fries for an even finish.
- Check for a shattering crust at 15 minutes; add 2-3 minutes of additional cook time if a darker color is preferred.
- Immediately toss the hot fries with an extra pinch of salt while the residual oil is bubbling for maximum adhesion.
