Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air-Fryer Fries.
Step 1
Start by soaking your potato sticks in water for about 30 minutes.
Step 2
This simple step helps to wash away excess starch, which is key to achieving that perfect crispiness.
Step 3
Once the time is up, drain the potatoes and gently pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 4
This ensures they’re ready to crisp up beautifully in the air fryer.
Step 5
Next, drizzle a bit of vegetable oil over the dried potato sticks and give them a good toss to make sure every piece is evenly coated.
Step 6
Now it’s time to get your air fryer ready! Preheat it to 400°F (200°C) so it’s nice and hot when the fries go in.
Step 7
When you’re ready, place the potato sticks in the air fryer basket, but be careful not to overcrowd them; a little space goes a long way in achieving that golden-brown perfection.
Step 8
Cook them for 15 to 20 minutes, tossing the fries every 5 minutes to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 9
You’ll know they’re done when they’re crispy and beautifully golden.
Step 10
Once they’re cooked to perfection, take them out of the air fryer and sprinkle with salt and your favorite seasonings to taste.
Step 11
Enjoy your delicious homemade fries, perfect for snacking or as a side dish!.
