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.
- 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 for making french fries in the air fryer. They have a high starch content, which makes them crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized strips: This will help them cook evenly.
- Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes: This will remove excess starch and help the fries crisp up.
- Dry the potato strips thoroughly before cooking: This will help them crisp up even more.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit: This will help the fries cook evenly.
- Cook the fries in a single layer: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking: This will help the fries cook evenly.
- Season the fries with salt, pepper, and other desired spices after cooking: This will add flavor to the fries.
Conclusion:
Making french fries in the air fryer is a quick, easy, and healthy way to enjoy this classic dish. By following these tips, you can make crispy, fluffy fries that are sure to please everyone at your table. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
