AIR FRYER FRENCH FRIES
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.

Steps:
- Cut each potato lengthwise into 3/8-inch-thick slices. Slice sections into sticks also about 3/8 inch-wide.

Steps:
- Preheat the air fryer to 385 degrees Fahrenheit.
- It is not necessary to spray the steak fries with extra oil but you can if you want them to get a little extra crispy. To do so, place the fries into a bowl, spray them with oil, and toss until evenly coated.
- When the air fryer is preheated, add the frozen steak fries into the air fryer tray. Shake them gently so that they settle in and there is as little overlap as possible.
- Cook the frozen steak fries for 13-16 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Shake the air fryer basket every 5 minutes to allow for even cooking. The exact cooking time can vary depending on the thickness of the rozen steak fries you use and your air fryer.
- When done, remove the fries from the air fryer. Place the fries in a bowl, add (seasoning) salt to taste, and toss them around until they are evenly coated. Serve them with ketchup or another dipping sauce and enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right fries: Not all frozen fries are created equal. Look for fries that are specifically designed for air frying. These fries will be coated in a light breading that will help them crisp up in the air fryer.
- Preheat your air fryer: Just like a regular oven, it's important to preheat your air fryer before adding the fries. This will help the fries cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket: If you overcrowd the air fryer basket, the fries will not cook evenly. Make sure to leave some space between the fries so that the hot air can circulate.
- Shake the fries halfway through cooking: Shaking the fries halfway through cooking will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
- Season the fries after cooking: Once the fries are cooked, season them with your favorite seasonings. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all classic options.
Conclusion:
