Wash and scrub the potatoes. Peel them if desired (for a more rustic fry, leave the skin on).
Cut the potatoes into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick fries. Aim for uniform size for even cooking.
Place the cut fries in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to remove excess starch. This helps them get extra crispy.
Drain the fries thoroughly and pat them completely dry with paper towels. The drier they are, the crispier they'll get.
In the same bowl, toss the dried fries with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Make sure the fries are evenly coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Place the fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding; you may need to cook them in batches.
Air fry for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer.
Remove the fries from the air fryer and serve immediately. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
