Ingredients

  • 1 pound Russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon oil avocado or olive
  • ½ - ¾ teaspoon salt to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the Potatoes: Heat air fryer to 375°F for at least 3 minutes. Cut potatoes into long strips (4-6 inches in length) that are ½” wide by ¼” thick.
  2. Soak in Water: Place cut fries in a large bowl of cool water and let soak for 20-30 minutes. This step helps to remove the starchy outer coating so they crisp up perfectly. Drain the cut potatoes and thoroughly dry off with a dish towel.
  3. Season the Fries: Add fries to a large bowl. Drizzle oil and sprinkle in salt. Toss fries until completely coated.
  4. Cook in Air Fryer: Place fries into the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not touch on any of the sides. If using a 6-quart model, you will need to cook the fries in 2 batches in order to do this. Cook fries for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. For extra crispy or larger fries: Shake the basket and return the fries to the fryer for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  5. Serve air fryer French fries with ketchup, mayonnaise, Sriracha Mayo, or homemade Remoulade Sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

  • °F
  • Air fryer: If you're cooking fries in batches, heat your oven to 250°F.  Add the first batch of fries to a baking sheet and pop them in the oven to keep them warm while the second batch is cooking.
  • Soak: Don't skip soaking the potatoes for the best results.
  • Prep Ahead: Cut and soak the fries for up to 24 hours in advance.
  • Storage: Place leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-5 days. To freeze, seal in a freezer-safe airtight container for up to 3 months. To reheat, return to a 350°F air fryer until heated through.
