Air Fryer French Fries
Description
This recipe for Air Fryer French Fries starts by cutting medium russet potatoes into 3/8-inch sticks and soaking them in cold water for 30 minutes to reduce starchiness and improve crispness. After drying, the potatoes are tossed with vegetable oil and a simple spice blend of onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cooking in an air fryer at 380°F crisps the fries evenly while keeping their interior tender. Flipping them halfway ensures consistent browning and texture.
The fries finish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley, which adds a pop of color and a mild herbaceous note. These crispy fries can be served as a side dish with sandwiches, burgers, or grilled meats, or as a snack on their own.
Ingredients
- 3 medium russet potato scrubbed and cut into 3/8 inch wide pieces
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Place the potato sticks in a bowl of cold water. Let the potatoes soak in the water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F.
- Place the potatoes in a large bowl and add the vegetable oil, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.
- Stir well until the potatoes are coated in the oil and spices.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer; you may need to work in batches. Cook for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through the time, or cook for longer if needed until golden brown and crispy.
- Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
