AIR FRYER FRENCH FRIES



Air Fryer French Fries image

Since I missed the whole Instant Pot® train, I had to make at least one air fryer recipe while they're still hot. And it doesn't get more classic than French fries; the generally accepted technique is pretty, dare I say, airtight, at this point, but I do have one extra trick in store! Finally, dip them in honey mustard, spicy ketchup, garlic aioli, or all 3 mixed together, like I did.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound russet potatoes, peeled
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Cut each potato lengthwise into 3/8-inch-thick slices. Slice sections into sticks also about 3/8 inch-wide.
  • Cover potatoes with water and let soak for 5 minutes to release excess starches. Drain and cover with boiling water by a few inches (or place in a bowl of boiling water). Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Drain potatoes and transfer onto some paper towels. Blot off the excess water and let cool completely, at least 10 minutes. Transfer into a mixing bowl; drizzle with oil, season with cayenne, and toss to coat.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Stack potatoes in a double layer in the fryer basket. Cook for 15 minutes. Slide basket out and toss fries; continue frying until golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Toss fries with salt in a mixing bowl. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for making French fries because they have a high starch content, which results in a crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. Use a sharp knife to cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick strips.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch, which will prevent the fries from sticking together. Soak the potatoes for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly: Before cooking the fries, make sure they are completely dry. This will help them to crisp up in the air fryer.
  • Season the fries: You can season the fries with any herbs or spices you like. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  • Preheat the air fryer: This will help the fries to cook evenly. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the fries.
  • Cook the fries in batches: Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook the fries in batches so that they have enough space to cook evenly.
  • Shake the basket: Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking to ensure that the fries cook evenly.
  • Serve the fries immediately: French fries are best served hot and crispy. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Making French fries in an air fryer is a quick and easy way to enjoy this classic snack. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make crispy, delicious French fries that are perfect for any occasion. So next time you're craving French fries, give this recipe a try!
