Easy Air Fryer French Fries Recipe

These air fryer french fries are made from fresh potatoes that are cut into strips, seasoned, and cooked to perfection in an air fryer. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from preparation to serving and can serve 4 people.

Ingredients

2 large potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into even-sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Soak them in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry with a towel.
Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings like garlic powder and paprika.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

Cook the Fries: Place the seasoned potato strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Remove the fries from the air fryer and serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or your favorite dipping sauce.
