Peri-Peri Spiced Fries in the Air Fryer
  1. 1

    Peel the potatoes and slice them into 3/8-inch pieces. Soak them in a bowl of water for 15 minutes to wash off most of the starch. Move them to a clean kitchen towel and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, combine paprika, chile powder, garlic, white pepper, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.

  3. 3

    Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Put the potatoes in a medium bowl, add the grapeseed oil, and mix well. Transfer them to the air fryer basket.

  5. 5

    Air-fry for 10 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally. Raise the temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and continue air-frying until golden brown, 12 to 15 more minutes.

  6. 6

    Pour the fries into a bowl, sprinkle with the seasoning mix, and shake the bowl to coat the fries evenly. Taste and adjust the salt if needed. Serve right away.
