  • Peel potatoes and cut into 3/8-inch slices. Place into a bowl of water for 15 minutes to remove most of the starch. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel and dry.
  • Meanwhile, mix paprika, chile powder, garlic, white pepper, and salt together in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 5 minutes.
  • Place potatoes into a medium bowl and add grapeseed oil; mix well. Pour into the air fryer basket.
  • Air-fry for 10 minutes, shaking occasionally. Increase the temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and air-fry until golden brown, 12 to 15 more minutes.
  • Pour fries into a bowl, sprinkle with seasoning mix, and shake the bowl to ensure fries are evenly covered. Taste and adjust salt if necessary. Serve immediately.
