Air Fryer French Fries
Description
This recipe starts by slicing large russet potatoes into quarter-inch sticks which are then rinsed and dried thoroughly for crispiness. The fries are coated with olive oil and a seasoning mix including salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Cooking occurs in a preheated air fryer at 380°F, first for 10 minutes, then tossed and cooked an additional 6 to 10 minutes until golden and crisp.
The air frying technique yields fries with a crunchy surface and soft centers without deep frying. The seasoning blend adds mild smoky and savory notes, complementing the potato’s natural flavor.
These fries can be served as a side dish with burgers or sandwiches, or as a snack. Parsley garnish offers a fresh touch. Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 5 days and can be reheated in the air fryer to regain crispness. For larger quantities, cooking in batches and reheating briefly together is recommended.
Ingredients
- 1 lb russet potato 2 large or 3 medium potatoes
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
- ⅛ tsp black pepper or to taste, ground
- ⅛ tsp garlic powder
- ⅛ tsp paprika
Instructions
- Scrub and clean the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into even ¼-inch thick strips.
- Rinse the fries in cold water and thoroughly pat dry.
- Add the fries into a large bowl, drizzle with the oil, and toss. Sprinkle seasonings over the fries and toss again.
- Transfer the fries to the air fryer basket and cook at 380 for 10 minutes. Toss the French fries and cook for an additional 6-10 minutes until the fries are golden and crispy. Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- To prepare ahead, soak cut fries in cold water in the refrigerator and dry before cooking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days or freeze up to 2 months.
- Reheat fries from refrigerated or frozen state in the air fryer until warmed through for best texture.
- When using a smaller air fryer, cook fries in batches and rewarm together briefly before serving.
