Air Fryer French Fries: 5 Steps to Crispy Perfection


  • Author: ushinzomr

Description

Crispy and delicious air fryer french fries that are easy to make and healthier than traditional frying.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
  2. Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Soak the potato sticks in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a towel.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the potato sticks with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
  5. Place the potato sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd.
  6. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispy fries, soak the potatoes longer or use a mandoline for even cuts.
  • Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste, adding herbs or spices as desired.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for best results.
