Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 lb frozen steak fries OR
  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil [Note 1]

Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • If using frozen fries skip to Step 4.
  • Cut the potatoes lengthways into long wide fries, approximately 3/4 inch wide and 1/3 inch thick. 
  • Soak the fries in cold water for 20-30 minutes.
  • Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Place the fries in a large bowl and drizzle with oil, or spritz with oil for a lighter version [Note 2].  
  • Preheat air fryer to 360°F/ 180°C.
  • Mix the smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and salt together in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the fries. Toss the fries to coat evenly in the seasoning and oil. 
  • Place steak fries in air fryer basket, and air fry for 15-20 minutes for frozen steak fries, or 20-25 minutes if using homemade steak fries until fries are golden brown and crispy.
  • Shake the basket 2 or 3 times during cooking to redistribute the fries and ensure they cook evenly.

Notes

  1. Choose a cooking oil with a high smoke point: light olive oil, vegetable oil, corn oil, or avocado oil are good options.
  2. Optional if using frozen steak fries.
