15- Minute Air Fryer French Fries
Description
15-Minute Air Fryer French Fries use cut potatoes tossed lightly in neutral oil and salt, then cooked at 400°F in an air fryer. Soaking the fries beforehand helps eliminate starch, promoting a crisp texture after air frying. The fries are stirred every 5 minutes to cook evenly and develop a golden crust. The result is a simple, handmade version of fries with a balance of crispness outside and softness inside. Adding extra salt after cooking adjusts flavor to preference. These fries offer a way to enjoy a classic comfort side with less oil than traditional frying and a straightforward preparation.
Ingredients
- 4 potato cut into french fries
- 1 tbsp neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Soak French fries in cold water for at least 20 minutes. Drain off the water and pat dry with a paper towel. Toss fries with a bit of oil and salt.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil. Place the french fries inside the air fryer tray and cook for 15 minutes at 400°F. Every 5 minutes, open the air fryer and toss fries.
- Season french fries with a little more salt and serve with your favorite sauce.
