    Begin by washing the russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Set aside. Dry them with a transparent dish towel.

    To make the skin crispy, coat the potatoes evenly with olive oil, being sure to cover all surfaces. Then, season with salt. Add a liberal amount of salt to season both sides.
    To ensure consistent frying and crispiness, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for around 5 minutes.

    Put the potatoes in an air fryer and cook for 35 to 40 minutes, turning them over halfway through. The potatoes are done when they are soft on the inside and slightly browned on the outside; the exact amount of time to cook them depends on their size and thickness.
    Toss and Top: After the potatoes are cooked to your liking, remove them from the air fryer and set aside to cool for a few minutes. To make the potatoes fluffy, cut them lengthwise and then fluff them inside with a fork.

  • super crispy cheesy fries

    super crispy cheesy fries

    Super Crispy Cheesy Fries are a delicious, indulgent treat featuring perfectly crispy fries topped with gooey melted cheese. Here’s how you can make them at home:

    Ingredients:

    • 4 large russet potatoes
    • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
    • Salt, to taste
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
    • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese of your choice like mozzarella or Monterey Jack)
    • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
    • Freshly chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)
    • Sour cream or ranch dressing (optional, for dipping)

    Instructions:

    1. Prepare the Potatoes:

    • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
    • Wash the potatoes thoroughly, scrubbing away any dirt. Leave the skins on for extra texture and flavor.
    • Cut the potatoes into thin, even fries (about 1/4-inch thick). The thinner the fries, the crispier they will be.

    2. Soak the Potatoes (Optional for extra crispiness):

    • Soak the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, leading to crispier fries.
    • After soaking, pat the fries dry with a paper towel to remove as much moisture as possible.

    3. Season and Coat the Fries:

    • Place the dried fries on a large baking sheet.
    • Drizzle the fries with olive oil, then toss them to coat evenly.
    • Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using), and toss again to ensure even seasoning.

    4. Bake the Fries:

    • Spread the fries out in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they’re not overlapping. This helps them crisp up evenly.
    • Bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. Bake until they are golden and crispy on all sides.

    5. Add the Cheese:

    • Once the fries are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven.
    • Immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot fries. You can also add some Parmesan for extra flavor.
    • Return the fries to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    6. Serve:

    • Remove the cheesy fries from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color (optional).
    • Serve immediately with sour cream, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce.

    Tips:

    • For extra crispy fries: You can also fry the fries in hot oil instead of baking them, but this adds a bit more work. For oven-baked fries, ensure the fries are spread out in a single layer and not overcrowded.
    • Cheese options: Feel free to mix different cheeses like mozzarella for a stretchy, gooey texture or gouda for a smoky flavor.
    • Spicy option: Add jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce on top for a spicy kick.

    These Super Crispy Cheesy Fries are perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish to enjoy with burgers or sandwiches! Enjoy!

    1f353 STRAWBERRY VANILLA ICE CREAM 1f366

    INGREDIENTS:
    2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
    1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
    1 cup sweetened condensed milk
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    2 tablespoons sugar (optional, depending on strawberry sweetness)

    INSTRUCTIONS:
    If using fresh strawberries, wash, hull, and chop them into small pieces.
    Blend the strawberries in a blender or food processor until smooth. Leave a few small chunks if you prefer texture in your ice cream.
    In a cold mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.

    Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk using a spatula to keep the mixture airy.

    Add the strawberry purée and vanilla extract. If you’re using sugar, add it now. Mix gently until well combined.

    Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.

    Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for 4–6 hours, or until firm.

    Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for easier scooping.
