Main Ingredients- 1 medium potato
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 pinch of salt
- A little dried parsley flakes
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the potato thoroughly and peel it. It’s important to wash it carefully to remove any remaining dirt.
Step 2
Cut the peeled potato into potato stick shapes that are easy to eat. The thinner you slice them, the crispier they will bake. Place the cut potatoes in a bowl and soak them in cold water for about 10 minutes to remove the starch. This step helps them become crispier even without frying.
Step 3
Drain the water completely from the potatoes after soaking them in cold water. If moisture remains, the potatoes can become soggy, so gently patting them dry with a paper towel is also a good method.
Step 4
Place 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a small bowl or a microwave-safe container. Microwave for about 30 seconds until fully melted. Be careful not to let the butter get too hot.
Step 5
Add the melted butter to the drained potatoes, along with a pinch of salt and the parsley flakes. Gently toss and mix to ensure the seasoning coats the potatoes evenly. You can also add other herb powders or garlic powder for an enhanced flavor.
Step 6
Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap. Cook at 180℃ (350℉) for 15 minutes, then flip them halfway through and cook for an additional 5 minutes. This will result in delicious potato sticks that are golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside. Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model.
Step 7
Arrange the well-baked potato sticks attractively on a plate. Your healthy and delicious potato sticks are now ready! They are best enjoyed warm, and can be served with ketchup or chili sauce for an extra kick.
