🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 large russet potatoes (about 600g), unpeeled
✓ 1 tablespoon neutral oil (for air fryer)
✓ 1 teaspoon kosher salt
✓ 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
✓ 1 teaspoon garlic powder
✓ 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
✓ 2 green onions, thinly sliced (garnish)
✓ 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
✓ 3 tablespoons non-fat Greek yogurt
✓ 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
✓ 1 tablespoon raw honey
✓ 2 cloves garlic, minced
✓ 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
✓ 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
✓ 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
✓ 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
✓ 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (garnish)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the Potatoes: Wash russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick sticks with skin on, leaving them slightly thicker than restaurant fries for better texture. Soak cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch—this ensures maximum crispness in the air fryer.

2. Dry and Season: Drain fries in a colander and pat completely dry with paper towels. Toss with 1 tablespoon neutral oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika in a large bowl until evenly coated.

3. Air Fry in Batches: Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes. Arrange fries in a single layer (work in two batches if needed). Air fry for 22–25 minutes, shaking the basket every 8 minutes, until golden and crispy at edges.

4. Make the Sauce: While fries cook, combine 2 tablespoons butter and Greek yogurt in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until melted and smooth (do not boil). Add gochujang, honey, minced garlic, and fresh ginger; whisk until fully incorporated. Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Simmer for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.

5. Transfer and Toss: Once fries are crispy and hot, transfer to a large bowl. Immediately pour the warm gochujang honey butter sauce over the fries and toss vigorously for 30 seconds to coat evenly.

6. Garnish and Serve: Divide fries between two serving bowls. Drizzle with any remaining sauce from the bottom of the bowl. Top with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately while fries are at peak crispness.
