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.

THE ONE AND ONLY TRULY BELGIAN FRIES
There is no fancy skill involved in making these crispy fries, but there is a trick. The potatoes are fried twice. The first time cooks them through and makes them tender. The second time, which can be done hours later just before serving, turns them golden brown and deliciously crisp.

Steps:
- Pour enough oil into a deep fryer to reach at least halfway up the sides of the pan but not more than three-quarters of the way up. Heat the oil to 325°F.
- Cut the potatoes into sticks 1/2 inch wide and 2 1/2 to 3 inches long. Dry all the pieces thoroughly in a clean dish towel. This will keep th oil from splattering. Divide the potato sticks into batches of no more than 1 cup each. Do not fry more than one batch at a time.
- When the oil has reached the desired temperature, fry the potatoes for 4 to 5 minutes per batch. They should be lightly colored but not browned. If your fryer has a basket, simply lift it out the remove the fried potatoes. Otherwise, use a long-handled skimmer to lift out the potatoes. Be sure to bring the temperature of the oil back to 325°F in between batches. At this point the fries can rest for several hours at room temperature until you are almost ready to serve them.
- Heat the oil to 325°F. Fry the potatoes in 1-cup batches until they are nicely browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on fresh paper towels or brown paper bags and place in a warmed serving bowl lined with more paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and serve. Never cover the potatoes to keep them hot as they will immediately turn soft and limp. If you are inclined to perfectionism, leave some potatoes to fry halfway through the meal so you can serve them crisp and piping hot.
Tips
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for air fryer pommes frites. They have a high starch content, which helps them to crisp up nicely.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them to cook evenly. Aim for fries that are about 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches long.
- Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the fries from sticking together. Soak the potatoes for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly: Before you air fry the potatoes, make sure they are completely dry. This will help them to crisp up.
- Toss the potatoes with oil: This will help them to brown and crisp. You can use olive oil, avocado oil, or any other high-heat oil.
- Season the potatoes: You can use any seasonings you like. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Preheat the air fryer: This will help the fries to cook evenly. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes before you add the potatoes.
- Cook the potatoes in batches: Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary.
- Shake the air fryer basket: This will help the fries to cook evenly. Shake the air fryer basket every few minutes during cooking.
- Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fries and the power of your air fryer. Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy.
