Ingredients:
4 medium potatoes
1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for extra crunch)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste

Method:
1 Cut the potatoes Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks or thin slices, depending on your preference.
2 Soak the potatoes Place the cut potatoes in a bowl filled with cold water for 30 minutes to reduce the starch content, which helps make them more crunchy.
3 Dry the potatoes Drain the potatoes from the water and dry them well using paper towels.
4 Add the flavors In a bowl, mix the potatoes with the cornstarch (if using), paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
5 Bake the potatoes

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius, and place the potatoes on a baking tray lined with baking paper or on a baking rack. Bake the potatoes for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy, turning them halfway through.
• Place the potatoes in the air fryer and set it to 180-200 degrees Celsius for 15-20 minutes, turning them occasionally until cooked through and crispy.

For best results, avoid stacking the potatoes in layers in the oven or air fryer, and leave them in a single, even layer. Serve with pleasure and good health!
