- Dry fries with a paper towel and then toss with 1 tbsp of oil.
- Preheat air fryer to 400F and arrange fries on the air fryer tray with space between each fry - you may need to cook in batches.

Notes
- You can use any type of potato, but I prefer russet
- Cut the fries as uniform in size as possible to ensure even cooking
- If you have extra time, soak the cut fries for an hour in cold water and then rinse for extra crispy fries
- Leave space between the fries when air frying and cook in batches if needed. Reheat all batches together and then salt
