• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Wash and slice the potatoes into fries, then set them in a bowl of cold water for 15-20 minutes to draw out excess starch. Use paper toweling to pat the potatoes dry.

4. 4Arrange the homemade fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. *You'll most likely need to cook them in batches so as not to overcrowd the basket.
5. 5Air fry for about 17-20 minutes, stopping halfway through to shake the basket, to rotate the placement of the fries.
