Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 122kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound large Russet potatoes (2-3 potatoes)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Scrub the potatoes (peel them if you like). Spiralize with the medium blade on speed 6 to get fries about ¼-inch thick. Pat the spirals bone-dry with a clean towel.
- Toss the spiralized potatoes with oil, then add the seasonings and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Spray the air fryer basket with oil so the fries do not stick.
- Add the seasoned spirals to the basket in a loose single layer. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking at the 6-minute mark. Cook until the edges are deep golden and a curl snaps when bent. Work in batches to not overcrowd the basket.
- Remove the fries from the air fryer and salt them while they are still hot. Serve right away.
Notes
- Swaps. Yukon Gold potatoes work well if you prefer a creamier inside. You can also use ranch, Cajun, or parmesan-garlic seasoning for flavor.
- Storage. Leftover cooked fries can be saved in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days and can be reheated in the air fryer at 350°F for 5 minutes. Raw spiralized potatoes will keep for 1 to 2 days submerged in cold water, but make sure to dry them well before cooking.
- Troubleshooting. If the fries are sticking, make sure you spray the basket itself with oil, not just the potatoes.
