Batata frita na air fryer

Ingredientes

• 2 large russet potatoes (cut into 1/4-inch thick fries)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• salt (to taste)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Wash, peel and cut the potatoes into ¼ inch thick fries. I have used russet potatoes here which are the best variety for making french fries. You may also use mandolin which works best to cut evenly sized fries.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, soak the fries in cold water and let them sit for about 10-15 minutes (removes excess starch in potatoes).Drain the water well and dab fries dry with a kitchen towel.

3. 3

   Put the fries in a bowl. Add olive oil and season with garlic powder, salt. Toss them well, so they are all coated with the seasoning.

4. 4

   Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Add the seasoned fries to the basket of air fryer and spread them in a single layer (cook in batches if required).

5. 5

   Air fryer them at 380°F (193°C) for 12-15 minutes or until crispy and golden. Toss the fries half way through. If your fries are not crispy then air fry them a bit longer. Cook time will depend on the thickness of your fries.

6. 6

   Serve French Fries hot and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.
