Ingredients
3 large russet potatoes, peeled
2 tbsp olive oil (or cooking spray for air fryer)
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
Optional: ¼ tsp black pepper, 1 tbsp parmesan, 1 tsp truffle oil
Instructions
Cut the potatoes using a crinkle cutter into ¼–½ inch slices.
Soak in cold water for 30 minutes (helps with crispiness), then drain and pat dry.
Toss fries with olive oil and seasonings in a bowl.
Choose your cooking method:
Air Fryer: Cook at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, shaking halfway.
Oven: Bake at 425°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
Deep Fry: Fry at 350°F for 3–4 minutes until golden.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Soaking potatoes removes excess starch and helps them crisp better.
Don’t overcrowd the basket or pan for best results.
Add parmesan and truffle oil after cooking for a gourmet touch.
Frozen crinkle fries? Skip soaking—just season and cook directly.
