These are the HEALTHIEST fries you will ever eat! Made exclusively in an air fryer, these healthier “steak fries” will satisfy cravings, and the health factor will go unnoticed by picky eaters.
- Note: If you have a fry mandolin, or a waffle cutter, you can use it instead of hand cutting the potatoes. You can also hand cut them into traditional “fry” shapes, we just like cutting them into half-moons.
- You can use this recipe to make breakfast home fries too, just dice the potato into 1/2″ pieces. 🙂
Ingredients:
- Red Potatoes (1/2 of a potato makes a small but satisfying serving)
- 1 teaspoon of Olive Oil
- Seasoning: Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder to taste.
Directions:
- Wash potatoes and cut each potato in half.
- Placing the flat (cut) side down, cut the potato into slices that are about 1/4″ thick. They will look like half-moons in shape. Place slices into a bowl for seasoning.
- Crack several turns (think 20+) of pepper, minimal turns of the salt mill (1 to 2 turns). We also generously season with onion powder and garlic powder.
- Pour 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the seasoned potatoes and mix with your hands to incorporate. If necessary, add olive oil sparingly, these fries are healthy and require little-to-no-oil thanks to the air fryer! The oil in this instance just serves as a teeny tiny means of getting the seasoning to stay on the potatoes.
- Place potatoes in air fryer on “Air Fry.” (Our machine settings automate to 15 minutes on 390.)
- Pause and carefully shake the air fryer drawer every 3 to 5 minutes to ensure all potatoes are browning evenly.
- Monitor the potatoes until they have some browning, and are fully cooked. (Ours typically takes 10 to 15 minutes for 2 to 3 servings.)
