Crispy and Fluffy Air Fryer French Fries Recipe
Air fryer French Fries are a new game-changing way to cook French fries without heating up a pot of oil, making a mess, and dealing with the smell of frying. I love how they are quick and easy to make; as simple as cutting up some potatoes, tossing them in a bit of oil, and letting the machine work its magic. Plus, french fries in an air fryer are prepared twice as fast as oven-baked, and the clean-up is a breeze!
Ingredients
Instructions
Prep the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes. Using a sharp kitchen knife, cut them into uniform strips, about ¼ inch thick. Uniformity ensures even cooking.
Soak and Dry: Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 10 minutes. This step removes excess starch, which helps achieve a crispier texture. Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a towel. Moisture is the enemy of crispiness!
Season and Cook: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, toss the dried potatoes with olive oil, salt, and any other desired seasonings.
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook for 10-14 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
When done, your fries should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, with a tender inside. Serve with your favorite dip and enjoy! My top picks are this DIY Chipotle dip and our take on the Chick-Fil-A sauce.
