Instructions

Place the cut Potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Allow them to soak for 15 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps with crispiness.
Drain the potatoes and pat them thoroughly dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Moisture is the enemy of a crisp fry.
In a dry bowl, combine the dried potatoes with all Seasoning ingredients. Toss until every potato stick is evenly coated in oil and salt.
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately while hot.
