  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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.
