Air Fryer
Scrub and clean potatoes. Cut the potatoes into fries by cutting them 1/4 inch lengthwise and then cut into fries. Feel free to peel them if you don't like the skin.
Place them in a bowl with ice water. This helps remove some of the starch which helps to get them crispy when they cook. Let them soak for 30 minutes up to 2 hours.
Remove from water and pat dry.
Place fries in a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Pour the fries into air fryer basket. Try spreading them out into a single layer to ensure they cook evenly.
Cook at 390 degrees F for 10 minutes. Shake the basket and cook another 7-10 minutes. Be sure to keep checking on the fries. Each air fryer will cook a little different so you want to make sure they don't burn.
Mix the seasonings together in a bowl while fries are cooking. Carefully remove the French fries and immediately season with Wingstop seasoning.
