Air Fryer French Fries
Delicious crispy French fries are a breeze to prepare in your air fryer with easy cleanup!
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 3 russet potatoes, rinsed and scrubbed clean about 1 ¼ pounds
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cut potatoes lengthwise into ½ inch sticks.
- Place cut potatoes in a large bowl of ice water and soak for at least 30 minutes.
- Drain in a colander and rinse with water.
- Pat dry using paper towels or a clean dish towel.
- Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees F.
- Place cut potatoes in a large bowl (I rinse and dry the bowl I used for soaking) and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat as evenly as possible.
- Arrange cut potatoes in a single layer in your air fryer basket (all the potatoes will not fit in a single layer, you'll be cooking in batches). Cook for 8 minutes, then flip potatoes. Cook an additional 5 to 8 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy (check at 5 minutes).
- When all the batches are done, place all the fries in air fryer basket and heat for 1 to 2 minutes.
