Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over the oiled potatoes and toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
07 -
Spread fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or arrange in the air fryer basket.
08 -
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway, or air fry for 18 to 20 minutes, until the fries are crisp and golden brown.

Serve hot, optionally garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro, and accompany with nacho cheese sauce for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
Drying the potatoes thoroughly after soaking ensures maximum crispiness during roasting or air frying.
