➡️ Air Fryer Method:
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Place fries in a single layer (you may need to work in batches).
- Cook for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Add an extra few minutes if needed for extra crispiness.
➡️ Oven Method:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread fries in a single layer.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Broil for the last 2–3 minutes if you want extra browning.
✨ Tips for Ultimate Crispiness
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly after soaking — this is key!
- Don’t overcrowd the pan or air fryer. Give fries space to crisp up.
- Use cornstarch or arrowroot powder to mimic the effect of oil and lock in texture.
- Add a tiny spritz of water or vinegar before baking to help spices stick (optional).
🧂 Serving Suggestions
- Classic with ketchup or spicy mayo
- Sprinkle with nutritional yeast or vegan parmesan
- Serve with chili, burgers, or wraps
- Toss with herbs and a splash of lemon juice for a Mediterranean vibe
