AIR-FRYER FRENCH FRIES



Air-Fryer French Fries image

Being able to cook French fries with a lot less oil is one of the reasons air fryers were invented. While air-fryer fries may not be quite as deeply crunchy as their properly deep-fried cousins, they are nonetheless crisp, golden and satisfying in their own right - and a lot easier and less messy to prepare. Here, they're served with mayonnaise spiked with mustard and smoked paprika, for dunking. But for traditionalists, ketchup works just as well. Note that you can double the recipe, but you may have to cook the fries in batches, depending on the size of your fryer; consult the manual for specific instructions for your model.

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large russet potato (about 8 ounces), cut into 1/4-inch-thick sticks
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream or plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Steps:

  • Put potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight, stored in the refrigerator), then drain and pat very dry.
  • Heat the air fryer to 350 degrees, if preheating is necessary. Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels.
  • In a dry bowl, toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Transfer to air fryer and fry at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, tossing halfway. Transfer the potatoes to the baking sheet, spreading them in an even layer, and let cool to room temperature, at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours. (This step is optional; it gives the fries a slightly crispier exterior. If you want to skip it, keep the potatoes in the fryer and proceed to the next step.)
  • Turn the air fryer heat up to 400 degrees. Arrange potatoes in the fryer if you've taken them out, and drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon oil. Cook for until golden and crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes, tossing or stirring halfway through. Transfer immediately to a serving platter and sprinkle with more salt.
  • While the fries are cooking, make the sauce: In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard and paprika. Serve alongside the fries for dipping.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes are the best choices for French fries in an air fryer. They are dense and have a high starch content, which makes them crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too thick, they will not cook through, and if they are too thin, they will overcook and become dry.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes: This will help to remove the starch from the potatoes, which will make them crispier. After soaking, pat the potatoes dry with a paper towel.
  • Season the potatoes: You can use any seasonings you like, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika. Be sure to toss the potatoes in the seasonings evenly.
  • Preheat the air fryer: This will help the potatoes to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the basket.
  • Cook the potatoes in batches: Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket, or the potatoes will not cook evenly. Cook the potatoes in batches, if necessary.
  • Shake the basket halfway through cooking: This will help to ensure that the potatoes cook evenly.
  • Serve the fries immediately: French fries are best served hot and crispy. You can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Making French fries in an air fryer is a quick and easy way to enjoy this classic comfort food. With just a few simple steps, you can have crispy, delicious French fries that are healthier than traditional fried fries. So next time you are craving French fries, give this air fryer recipe a try.
