Air Fryer French Fries
Homemade French fries cooked in an air fryer offer a healthier alternative to traditionally deep-fried fries. They turn out crispy without using much oil, and the cooking is both quick and easy.
Equipment
- 1 Air fryer
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Sharp knife
- 1 Bowl
Instructions
- Peel 4 pcs baking potatoes and cut them into sticks of even thickness, about 1 cm wide.
- Place the potato sticks in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove starch, which helps them become crispy.
- Thoroughly dry the potato sticks with a kitchen towel.
- Place the dried potato sticks in a bowl, add 1-2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp Salt to taste, and toss so all the sticks are evenly coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. (Preprogram, or let it run for a couple of minutes before cooking)
- Distribute the potato sticks in the air fryer basket, making sure they don't sit on top of each other for optimal crispiness.
- Cook in the air fryer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fries are golden and crispy. Start the online kitchen timer hereShake the basket or turn the fries halfway through cooking for even browning.
- Serve hot.

Notes
Keep an eye on the fries towards the end of cooking, as the cooking time can vary depending on the model and efficiency of your air fryer.
