Air fryer french fries are the perfect guilt free way to indulge in your favorite french fries, using a small fraction of the oil! They are crisp, salty, delicious, and easy to make whenever the craving hits.
Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
Sea salt and pepper to taste, and any additional seasoning of your choice
Directions
Using a mandoline, slice the potatoes into fries (or slice length wise into about 1/4 inch sticks). Don't worry too much about the size of fry.
Next, completely submerge fries in a nice cool water bath.
Let fries sit one hour. This process helps to remove excess starch and will help the fries crisp up more in the oven!
- Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees.
- After an hour, drain the water, and pat fries dry with a paper towel.
Toss the fries with a couple tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper (and any other additional seasoning you may have chosen).
Add fries to bottom of air fryer basket and spread them out evenly (don't stack them on top of each other, you will have to work in batches.)
Cook for about 13 minutes, until crispy and golden brown.
- Once all batches are finished, toss them all back into the air fryer (no need to place in a single layer this time) for 1 to 2 minutes to warm and re-crisp any that got cold from the first few batches.
Serve hot with desired dips and enjoy!
Recipe Note
Depending on the size of fry some may take longer. Adjust time accordingly.
