Air Fryer French Fries
Description
This recipe uses medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes, either peeled or unpeeled based on preference. Slicing into approximately one-half inch sticks ensures even cooking. The fries are tossed in olive oil, seasoned with salt and black pepper, then arranged in a single layer in the air fryer basket to promote crisping on all sides. Cooking at 370°F for about 20 minutes, with a shake midway, yields fries with a golden crust and a soft interior.
To enhance crispness, the potatoes can be soaked in water before cooking to remove excess starch. The recipes note that fries should not overlap in the basket and that cooking in batches might be necessary for larger quantities. Leftovers can be stored refrigerated and reheated for a few days.
Air Fryer French Fries pair well with ketchup or other favorite condiments, making them a simple homemade alternative to fried fries with less oil and cleanup.
Ingredients
- 2 medium potato russets or Yukon gold
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon seasoned salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
Instructions

Notes
- Leaving potato skins on or peeling is optional according to preference.
- Soaking cut potatoes before cooking helps remove excess starch for crispier fries.
- Fries can be cut thicker or thinner based on texture preference; adjust cooking times accordingly.
- Toss fries halfway through air frying to promote even browning and crispness.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook in batches to maintain a single layer for best results.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
