AIR FRYER FRENCH FRIES
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.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat an air fryer to 380 degrees F and spray the basket with nonstick spray.
- Cut the potato in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch slices. Cut the slices into 1/4-inch sticks. Put the fries in a medium bowl and rinse them well with cold water, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
- Toss the fries with the oil in a medium bowl, then sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Working in batches if necessary, put the fries in an even layer in the air fryer basket with no overlapping and cook, turning them halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, 14 to 16 minutes. Remove and season with salt.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for French fries because they are low in starch and have a high solids content. This means they will crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife and cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch thick 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.
- Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices: This will help to add flavor to the fries.
- Preheat the air fryer: This will help to ensure that the fries cook evenly.
- Cook the fries in a single layer: This will help them to crisp up evenly.
- Shake the fries halfway through cooking: This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Serve the fries immediately: They are best when served hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Air fryer French fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional French fries. They are crispy, flavorful, and easy to make. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect air fryer French fries every time.
