• Preparation Time: 10 minutes
• Cooking Time: 15 minutes
• Serves: 2 servings

Ingredients

• 3 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin strips
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons chopped chives
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat your Air Fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
3. Arrange the potato strips in a single layer in the Air Fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
4. Cook for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The fries should be golden brown and crispy.
5. While the fries are cooking, prepare the creamy cheese dip. In a medium bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped chives, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
6. Serve the golden crunch French fries immediately with the creamy cheese dip on the side. Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

• For extra crunch, soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes before seasoning them.
• Add a pinch of smoked paprika to the seasoning mix for a smoky flavor.
• If you prefer a spicier dip, add a dash of hot sauce or some chopped jalapenos to the creamy cheese dip.
