Patatas fritas crujientes en freidora de aire

Ingredientes

• 2 large Russet potatoes (about 1 lb)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparación

1. 1

   Peel the potatoes (or leave the skin on for extra texture) and cut them into even ¼-inch thick sticks.

2. 2

   Place the potato sticks in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This washes away excess starch to prevent sogginess.

3. 3

   Drain the potatoes and pat them incredibly dry with a clean kitchen towel. Any moisture will steam the fries instead of crisping them.

4. 4

   In a large, dry bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

5. 5

   Add the bone-dry potato sticks to the bowl and drizzle with the oil. Toss thoroughly until every fry is evenly coated.

6. 6

   Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.

7. 7

   Place the fries in the air fryer basket in a single, even layer. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.

8. 8

   Air fry for 10 minutes, then pull the basket out and shake it well.

9. 9

   Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for another 5-8 minutes, until the fries are golden brown and crisp.

10. 10

    Immediately transfer the hot fries to a serving dish. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Serve piping hot.
