Air Fryer French Fries
Air Fryer French Fries
Air fryer French fries are the perfect way to make fries at home, and my family loves these!
While I was doing my internet research for making Air Fryer French fries, I was surprised to see how many people were soaking them in water first.
With a hefty dose of ignorance and confidence, I charged ahead with making some fries pretty much as soon as my Air Fryer was delivered (thank you, Amazon Prime). This was pre-internet-research, so I was not aware that people were soaking them
Ingredients
- 3 medium potatoes (I am using russet)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder/ granulated garlic
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 tablespoons oil of choice (I love using avocado oil because it has a high smoke point. Coconut also works well.)
Instructions
- Wash your potatoes, and pat them dry. I do not peel mine but feel free to do that.
- Slice your potatoes to the size fries you want, and try to be somewhat consistent with the size to allow for even cooking. (Note: larger fries may require slightly more cook time.)
- Toss your fries with the oil, garlic, salt and pepper. You can toss them in a bowl, or toss them in your air fryer basket if you are lazy like me!
- Cook them on 400 in the air fryer for about 20 minutes (more for larger, steak fries), and toss them around a couple times during the cooking to help evenly cook.
- Taste to see if you need more salt and pepper.
- If you want to make them look fancy, sprinkle some chopped fresh parsley on top. Honestly, I just did this for the pictures. We never add parsley in real life.
