Air fryer French fries are a healthier and delicious way to enjoy crispy fries with less oil. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Air Fryer French Fries
Ingredients:
- 2 large russet potatoes (or your choice of potatoes)
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- Optional seasonings: garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, or any other spices you like
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and peel the potatoes (if desired). Cut them into even strips (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick) for uniform cooking.
- Soak the Fries (optional but recommended):
- Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and can make them crispier. Drain and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
- Season the Fries:
- In a large bowl, toss the dried potato strips with olive oil, salt, and any optional seasonings you prefer until evenly coated.
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Air Fry the Fries:
- Place the fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Check for Crispiness:
- Continue cooking until they are golden brown and crispy. If you prefer them crispier, you can add a few more minutes.
- Serve:
- Once done, remove the fries from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
Tips:
- Don’t Overcrowd: Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket for the best results.
- Storage: Leftover fries can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days and reheated in the air fryer to regain crispiness.
Enjoy your delicious air fryer French fries!
