Ingredients

Fries

2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp cumin
Salt and pepper
Serving
Ranch dressing
Cheese sauce
Ketchup

Equipment

  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

  1. 1

    Spiralize potatoes using a spiralizer, or buy pre-cut curly fries.

  2. 2

    Soak spiralized potatoes in cold water 20 minutes. Drain and dry completely.

  3. 3

    Toss with olive oil and all seasonings.

  4. 4

    Air fry at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, shaking every 4 minutes, until crispy and golden.

  5. 5

    Serve with ranch, cheese sauce, or ketchup.

💡

Tip: A spiralizer tool makes this recipe easy — or buy frozen curly fries and just season them. The seasoning blend is key: paprika, garlic, onion, and cayenne is the classic fast-food curly fry flavor profile. Shake frequently for even cooking of the tangles.
