Make crispy curly fries quickly and easily in your air fryer. This recipe offers a healthier alternative to deep-frying, perfect for a convenient snack or a kid-friendly side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large potato, scrubbed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cut the potato into thin strips to create curly fries.
- In a bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the seasoned potato strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches.
- Air fry for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then thoroughly pat them dry before seasoning.
- Adjust seasonings to your preference. Consider adding onion powder, chili powder, or dried herbs.
- If using frozen curly fries, follow the package instructions for air frying, typically around 8-12 minutes at 380°F (190°C).
