Ingredients

  • 1 lb russet potatoes (about 2 large ones)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1–2 tablespoons Slow Noon (Chili Lime Basil) seasoning (or your fave FEC blend)

Instructions

  1. Cut Like You Mean It: Slice potatoes into your favorite fry shape—classic sticks, steak fries, or go wild with curly fries if you have a spiralizer.

  2. The Cold Bath Spa Treatment: Put the potato slices into a large bowl of cold water. Let them soak for 1 hour. This pulls out extra starch and makes them insanely crisp.

  3. Dry Like You’re Serious About It: Drain the water and pat the potatoes dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Moisture = soggy fries.

  4. The Oil & Seasoning Pre-Game: Toss fries with olive oil and Slow Noon seasoning until every piece is coated in deliciousness.

  5. Preheat the Crispy Chamber: Set your air fryer to 375°F and let it warm up.

  6. Cook in Two Acts: Place fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer (don’t crowd them—fries need personal space). Cook for 10 minutes, shake the basket like you’re trying to wake them up, then cook for another 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp.

  7. Serve & Devour: Enjoy immediately while they’re still hot, crunchy, and full of Slow Noon magic.

There’s no going back to sad, floppy fast-food fries after this. Slow Noon’s chili-lime-basil blend turns every bite into a sunny, tangy, mildly spicy explosion of joy. Once you try them, they’ll be your forever sidekick to burgers, tacos, or just a good old Netflix binge.

Pro Tip

  • For ultra-crispy fries, dry them thoroughly—like “blow-dryer” level thorough if you’re dedicated.
  • Want extra kick? Add a pinch more Slow Noon after cooking.
  • Works with sweet potatoes, too—just lower cook time to 15–16 minutes.
  • These fries will disappear fast. Make a double batch if you like having friends.
