Crinkle Cut French Fries

Ingredients

• 4-5 russet potatoes
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil
• Crinkle cutter (optional but you won't get crinkle cut fries without it)

Instructions

1. Peel potatoes and place in a bowl of cold water when they're done

2. Take one potato and slice off the flattest edge to make it flat enough to sit on the cutting board

3. Using the crinkle cutter, slice the potato into approximately 1/2" slices, longways. Make the slices as even as you can.

4. Take one slice, lay it flat and cut into strips of approximately the same 1/2" width

5. Return the fries to the bowl of cold water

6. Repeat until all potatoes have been sliced this way

7. Drain into a colander, shaking to get rid of the excess water and then gently dry with a paper towel to soak up any excess water

8. Return to the empty bowl and toss with vegetable oil, make sure they are evenly coated

9. Air fry on the french fry setting, reducing the time slightly since that setting is for frozen french fries

10. Toss frequently to make sure they're cooking evenly

11. Remove from the air fryer and place into a bowl lined with parchment paper (you can use the same bowl)

12. Season with Emeril's Essence or Bojangles Seasoning or Lowry's Seasoning Salt
