Air Fryer French Fries
Nothing is better then fresh cut homemade french fries. My Air Fryer French Fries require very little oil and yield a crispy french fry on the outside and a soft middle.

- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Pat the potatoes dry. Then toss with avocado oil.

Notes
- Oil - You will want to use an oil with a high smoke point like avocado oil or grapeseed oil. You can also use olive oil just know that your fries may burn as you are cooking them at a higher temp then what is recommended for olive oil.
- Seasonings - If you want to season your fries with something other then salt and pepper I highly suggest Seasoning Salt, Old Bay Seasoning, Cajun Seasoning, Blackening Season, Tanjin, Truffle Powder, dried rosemary to name a few.
- Toppings - I like to add chili, shredded cheese, and even bacon to my fries!
- Crispy Fries - If you like crispy fries you may want to increase the cook time by 3-5 minutes.
- Potatoes - I find that Russet potatoes work best for french fries. You can leave the skin on or take the time to peel it off.
