Air fryer steak fries are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried steak fries. They have a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior, making them a perfect side dish or snack. Here’s a simple recipe for making air fryer steak fries:
Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into long, thick strips, resembling steak fries. Try to keep the size and thickness consistent for even cooking.
- Place the potato strips in a large bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss the fries gently to coat them evenly with the oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the oiled fries and toss again to ensure all the fries are coated with the spices.
- Carefully transfer the seasoned fries to the preheated air fryer basket, spreading them out in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the basket, as this can prevent proper crisping.
- Cook the fries in the air fryer for about 15-20 minutes, shaking or flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fries and the efficiency of your air fryer, so keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking or burning.
- Once the fries are golden brown and crispy on the outside, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the air fryer steak fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside your favorite main dish.
Enjoy your homemade air fryer steak fries!
