Crispy Air Fryer French Fries Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 large Russet potatoes (Notes: You can peel them or leave the skin on.)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (Notes: Use a good quality olive oil.)
• Sea salt (Notes: To taste.)
• Black pepper (Notes: To taste.)
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (Notes: Optional seasoning.)
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder (Notes: Optional seasoning.)
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (Notes: Grated, optional for flavor.)

Instructions

1. 1
   Wash and dry the potatoes, then slice them into 1/4-inch matchsticks.
2. 2
   Soak the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cool water for at least 30 minutes.
3. 3
   Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
4. 4
   Once the potatoes have finished soaking, pat them dry with paper towels.
5. 5
   Place the potatoes in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
6. 6
   Working in batches, arrange the fries in an even layer in the preheated air fryer and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 10-15 minutes.
7. 7
   Repeat with the remaining fries until they have all been cooked. Serve immediately.

Tips & Variations:

• Soak the cut potatoes to remove excess starch for crispier fries.
• Pat the potatoes dry to remove excess moisture.
• Work in batches to ensure every fry is crisp.
• Recrisp all of the fries together for 1-2 minutes in the air fryer at the end.
