Air Fryer French Fries

Nothing is better then fresh cut homemade french fries. My Air Fryer French Fries require very little oil and yield a crispy french fry on the outside and a soft middle.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 2 Russet Potatoes cut ¼-inch thick
  • 1 teaspoon Avocado Oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Wash and scrub the potatoes. Then cut using a knife or vegetable slicer into even slices. Rinse the slices until water runs clear in a bowl. Let soak for 30 minutes in ice cold water.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Pat the potatoes dry. Then toss with avocado oil.
  • Lay flat in the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes. Flipping halfway through the cooking time (spray with additional oil if they look dry).
  • Once the french fries are done cooking place back in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper or seasoning of choice. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Oil - You will want to use an oil with a high smoke point like avocado oil or grapeseed oil. You can also use olive oil just know that your fries may burn as you are cooking them at a higher temp then what is recommended for olive oil.
  • Seasonings - If you want to season your fries with something other then salt and pepper I highly suggest Seasoning Salt, Old Bay Seasoning, Cajun Seasoning, Blackening Season, Tanjin, Truffle Powder, dried rosemary to name a few.
  • Toppings - I like to add chili, shredded cheese, and even bacon to my fries!
  • Crispy Fries - If you like crispy fries you may want to increase the cook time by 3-5 minutes.
  • Potatoes - I find that Russet potatoes work best for french fries. You can leave the skin on or take the time to peel it off.
