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 vegetables: Vegetables that are firm and not too delicate, such as potatoes, carrots, and zucchini, work best for air fryer fries.
  • Cut the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly in the air fryer.
  • Toss the vegetables with oil and seasonings: This will help them crisp up and brown.
  • Preheat the air fryer before adding the vegetables: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Cook the vegetables in a single layer: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Shake the vegetables halfway through cooking: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: They are best when served hot and crispy.
