air fryer french fries

Here’s a super simple and crispy Air Fryer French Fries recipe — golden, crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and much healthier than deep-fried versions.

🍟 Air Fryer French Fries

Ingredients (Serves 2–4)

• 2 large russet potatoes

• 1–2 tbsp olive oil (or any neutral oil)

• Salt, to taste

• Optional seasonings: garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, parsley

Instructions

1. Prep the potatoes:

   • Wash and peel (optional) the potatoes.

   • Cut into thin, even sticks—about ¼ inch thick.

   • Soak the cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch (for max crispiness).

2. Dry thoroughly:

   • Drain and pat dry completely using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

3. Season:

   • Toss the fries in a bowl with oil and salt. Add any extra seasonings here if desired.

4. Air fry:

   • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) if needed.

   • Place fries in the basket in a single layer (do not overcrowd; cook in batches if needed).

   • Cook for 15–20 minutes, shaking or tossing the basket halfway through.

   • For extra crispiness, increase temp to 400°F (200°C) in the last 3–5 minutes.

5. Serve:

   • Sprinkle with more salt or herbs and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
