Sure! Here’s a recipe for air fryer steak fries along with some important notes:
Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional toppings: grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Cut the potatoes into thick, steak fry-sized pieces. Try to make them as even as possible to ensure even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Add the potato slices to the bowl and toss them gently to coat them evenly with the seasoned oil mixture.
- Once the air fryer is preheated, place the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; you may need to cook them in batches.
- Cook the fries at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your fries and the efficiency of your air fryer, so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking or undercooking.
- Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes.
- If desired, sprinkle the cooked fries with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and garnish.
- Serve the air fryer steak fries immediately as a delicious side dish or snack.
Notes:
- The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fries and the specific model of your air fryer. It’s always a good idea to check the fries periodically during cooking to ensure they reach your desired level of crispiness.
- If you want your fries to be extra crispy, you can soak the cut potato slices in cold water for about 30 minutes before seasoning and air frying. This helps remove excess starch and promotes crispness.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You can add more or less garlic powder, paprika, salt, or any other seasonings you like.
- It’s important not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation, which helps in achieving crispy fries. If necessary, cook them in batches to ensure even cooking.
- Remember to preheat your air fryer before adding the fries. This helps in achieving a crispy exterior while keeping the interior soft and fluffy.
- You can serve the steak fries with ketchup, mayonnaise, or any other dipping sauce of your choice.
Enjoy your delicious air fryer steak fries!
