   Wash your yukon gold potatoes and dry them with a towel. Use a crinkle cutter (best $10 ever) to cut the potatoes into fries — watch a video for step-by-step help if needed.

2. 2

   Toss the raw fries into your air fryer with nothing on them. Trust the process! Air fry at 400°F for ⏱️ 20-25 minutes , shaking every 5-7 minutes so they cook evenly.
3. 3

   Once golden, spray with avocado oil spray (about 4g), season with sea salt and garlic powder , toss, and enjoy! (The fries go in raw because you're limited on how much oil you can use to stay low calorie — potatoes soak up to 25 percent of their weight in oil after cooking, so it's better to add it after, which also helps the seasoning stick.)
