AIRFRYER FRENCH FRIES
Love french fries? These crunchy air-fried masala fries are perfectly spiced with red chili, turmeric, and aromatic garam masala. Optionally sprinkle with some chat masala just before serving for a delicious chatpata snack.
Ingredients :
- 2 medium russet potatoes
- 4 cups water for soaking
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon kashmiri red chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon garam masala
- ¼ teaspoon chat masala optional
Directions :
- Scrub and rinse the potatoes well under running water. Wipe well with paper towels. Peeling is optional and I would recommend making these fries with potato skin.
- Cut the potatoes into long ⅓ inch thick sticks. Ideally, they should be about 4 inches long, to prevent them from breaking. Place the cut potatoes in a medium-sized bowl and add water to the bowl. Allow the cut potatoes to soak for 15 mins.
- After 15 minutes, drain all the water out and place the potatoes on a kitchen towel and wipe them dry.
- Add dried potatoes to a clean and dry bowl. Add oil, garlic powder, salt, red chili powder, turmeric, and garam masala. Toss so that the potatoes evenly coated with all the spices.
- Preheat the air fryer at 400°F for 5 minutes. Spray the basket with oil. Place the fries in the air fryer basket, evenly spreading and crisscrossing the overlapped fries. If your air fryer basket is small you may want to cook the fries in 2 batches.
- Air Fry at 380°F or 190°C for 25 mins. Shake the basket halfway through. If you like more crunchy fries, cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
