Ingredients
- potato3 large
- oil1 tbsp
- peri peri seasoning1.5 tsp
- garlic powder1/2 tsp
- saltto taste
Method
Cut the fries
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, even fries. Rinse under cold water to wash off surface starch, then pat completely dry, since dry fries are what crisp up instead of turning soft.
Season well
Toss the fries with the oil, peri peri seasoning, garlic powder and salt until each one is evenly coated. Coating them in oil first helps the spices cling rather than sliding off in the basket.
Arrange in the basket
Spread the fries in a single layer in the basket, leaving a little space between the pieces. A crowded basket traps steam and leaves them limp instead of crisp and golden.
Air fry
Air fry at 200°C for 18 min, shaking twice, until golden and crisp. Shaking the basket keeps the fries from sticking together so every side browns evenly. Serve hot.
