Servings:

4-5 potatoes washed and peeled,
2 tablespoon olive oil 2 tablespoon per batch
1 tablespoon spice mix (Chipotle spice mix/ morocco spice mix or you may just use dried oregano/herbs/garlic as per your taste)
1 teaspoon sea salt optional in case the spice mix has salt.

Using a slicer, slice the potatoes or use cut them into wedges any shape.
Take a pot filled with water. Leave the potato slices in it for 3-4 hours.
Drain the water from the potatoes. Dry the potato sticks using a paper tissue.
Toss the fries with 1 tablespoon oil (no salt/seasoning now).
To make the fries in the air fryer, place them in the tray in a single layer in the preheated air fryer. You may need to cook them in batches.
Cook these for 10 minutes at 200C,stirring once/twice in between.
Mix the seasoning with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl. Toss the semi cooked fries in the seasoning.
Continue to cook at 200C for 8-10 minutes or until you get the desired crispness. Serve immediately.

Follow the same steps as above for the prep. Make home baked fries in the oven for 22-25 minutes at 200C(fan forced).

I could make fries from 200gms of potatoes in 1 batch.

Note: The thickness of the potato fries/wedges should be at least 1 cm/0.5inch (yes I know 1inch=2.5 cm :-))

For fasting: use sendha namak/rock salt instead of sea salt.
