15- Minute Air Fryer French Fries

These air fryer French fries deliver crispy exteriors and tender interiors using simple ingredients: potatoes, oil, and salt. Soaking the fries before cooking removes excess starch for better crunch. Tossing fries during the 15-minute air frying at 400°F ensures even cooking. They can be served as a side or snack, seasoned to taste and paired with a favorite sauce.

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.
