Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Fresh Potato Fries:

- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the classic choice for french fries, as they produce a fluffy interior and crispy exterior. Yukon Gold potatoes are another good option, as they have a slightly sweeter flavor. - Cut your potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly in the air fryer. Aim for fries that are about 1/2-inch thick and 3-4 inches long. - Soak your potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch, which can make the fries soggy. Soak the potatoes for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. - Dry your potatoes thoroughly: Before cooking, make sure your potatoes are completely dry. This will help them crisp up in the air fryer. - Season your potatoes well: Use your favorite seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika. You can also add a bit of olive oil or cooking spray to help the seasonings stick. - Cook your potatoes in a single layer: This will help them cook evenly. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket, or the fries will steam instead of fry. - Shake the basket halfway through cooking: This will help to ensure that the fries cook evenly. - Serve your fries immediately: Air fryer french fries are best enjoyed hot and crispy. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Air fryer fresh potato fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional french fries. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
