AIR FRYER FRENCH FRIES



Air Fryer French Fries image

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.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound russet potatoes, peeled
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon kosher salt

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.

1 3/4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes*
1 tablespoon canola or olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Or substitute a 28-ounce bag of frozen fries for the fresh potatoes. If frozen exclude the oil.

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes and cut into fries of equal thickness, no more than 2/3 inch in square thickness recommended. Rinse fries thoroughly in water; drain well. Use a clean kitchen towel to thoroughly dry the fries. Place the fries in the ActiFry Pan, or your air fryer. Drizzle evenly with the oil. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes or until the fries are golden and cooked through, (the cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fries and the variety of potato used) Season fries with salt (adjust to taste).

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for air fryer french fries. They have a high starch content, which makes them crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline to cut the potatoes into even strips.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the fries from sticking together.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly: This is important to prevent the fries from steaming in the air fryer.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket: This will prevent the fries from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the fries in batches: If you have a lot of fries to cook, cook them in batches so that they don't overcrowd the air fryer basket.
  • Shake the air fryer basket: This will help to ensure that the fries cook evenly.
  • Season the fries: Once the fries are cooked, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.

Conclusion:

Air fryer french fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional french fries. They are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they can be made with just a few simple ingredients. By following the tips in this article, you can make perfect air fryer french fries every time.
