Equipment

Air Fryer

Ingredients

1 lb. russet potatoes $1.39
2 Tbsp olive oil $0.24
1/2 tsp garlic powder $0.05
1/2 tsp onion powder $0.05
1/2 tsp salt $0.02

Instructions

Wash and dry the potatoes, then slice them into 1/4-inch matchsticks.
Soak the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cool water for 15 minutes. While the potatoes soak, preheat the air fryer to 380°F.
Once the potatoes have finished soaking, pat them dry with paper towels. Place the potatoes in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
Working in batches, arrange the fries in an even layer in the preheated air fryer and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 10-15 minutes.
Repeat with the remaining fries until they have all been cooked. Serve immediately.
