Crispy, golden, and perfectly seasoned homemade French fries made quickly and easily in the air fryer for a healthier alternative to traditional frying.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 1 lb russet potatoes (2 large or 3 medium potatoes)

Seasonings & Oil

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • ⅛ tsp ground black pepper (or to taste)
  • ⅛ tsp garlic powder
  • ⅛ tsp paprika

Instructions

  1. Cut the Potatoes: Scrub and clean the potatoes thoroughly. Cut the potatoes into even ¼-inch thick strips to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Rinse and Dry: Rinse the cut fries under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to improve crispiness.
  3. Season: Place the dried potato strips into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika over the fries, then toss again to distribute the seasonings uniformly.
  4. Air Fry: Transfer the seasoned fries into the air fryer basket in a single layer for best results. Cook at 380˚F (193˚C) for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, toss the fries to promote even cooking, then continue air frying for an additional 6 to 10 minutes until the fries turn golden brown and crispy. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce for a delicious snack or side.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before rinsing and drying.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even crisping.
  • You can adjust the seasoning quantities according to your taste preferences.
  • Leftover fries can be reheated in the air fryer at 350˚F for 3-5 minutes to regain crispiness.
  • Russet potatoes are preferred for fries due to their starchy texture, but other varieties can work with adjustments.
