Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer French Fries.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your air fryer to a crisp 380°F (190°C) and give the basket a light mist with nonstick cooking spray for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Take a potato and slice it in half lengthwise, then transform each half into 1/4-inch slices, followed by cutting those slices into 1/4-inch sticks to create perfect fries.
Step 3
Rinse the freshly cut fries under cold water to wash away excess starch, then drain them thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, toss the dried fries with a drizzle of olive oil until they are evenly coated, then season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, mixing well to infuse flavor.
Step 5
Arrange the fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap; you may need to cook them in batches if your air fryer is on the smaller side.
Step 6
Cook the fries for 7 minutes, then gently turn them over and continue cooking for another 7 to 9 minutes, or until they achieve a golden brown hue and a satisfying crunch.
Step 7
Once they’re perfectly cooked, remove the fries from the air fryer and sprinkle with a touch more salt to taste before serving.
Step 8
Enjoy your deliciously crispy air-fried fries, a perfect side or snack that’s sure to impress!.
