Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 4

Nonstick cooking spray, for the basket
1 medium russet potato (about 6 ounces), unpeeled
1 teaspoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for air fryer home fries due to their high starch content, which results in crispy exteriors and fluffy interiors.
  • Cut Potatoes Evenly: Uniformly sized potato pieces ensure even cooking. Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch thick wedges or slices.
  • Toss Potatoes with Seasonings: Before air frying, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any desired seasonings. This helps create flavorful fries.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Air Fryer Basket: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking.
  • Cook in Batches if Necessary: If your air fryer is small, cook the potatoes in batches to ensure they cook evenly.
  • Shake the Air Fryer Basket: During cooking, shake the air fryer basket a few times to prevent the potatoes from sticking and promote even cooking.
  • Add Onions Towards the End: Add sliced onions to the air fryer basket a few minutes before the potatoes are done cooking to prevent them from burning.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, sprinkle the home fries with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor and color.

Conclusion:

Air fryer home fries with onions are a quick, easy, and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Using an air fryer reduces oil consumption compared to traditional frying methods, resulting in a healthier alternative.
