Air Fryer French Fries – Step-by-Step Guide
Quick, Crispy, and Healthy – No Deep Frying Needed!
French fries are a global favorite—but deep frying can be messy, oily, and unhealthy. With an air fryer, you get golden, crispy fries in minutes using minimal oil, saving time and keeping your kitchen cleaner.
Equipment You’ll Need
- Air fryer (any standard model)
- Cutting board & knife
- Mixing bowl
- Tongs or spatula
- Microwave-safe or heatproof plate (optional for pre-soak)
Ingredients
- 3–4 medium-sized potatoes (Russet or any starchy variety)
- 1–2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
- Salt (to taste)
- Optional: paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, chili flakes
Step-by-Step Method
1️⃣ Prepare the Potatoes
Wash, peel, and slice into even sticks (~½ cm thick). Soak in water for 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch and boost crispiness.
2️⃣ Dry the Potatoes
Drain and pat dry thoroughly with a clean towel or paper towels. 💡 Moisture = soggy fries. Drying is essential.
3️⃣ Season and Oil
Place dried potato sticks in a mixing bowl. Add oil and seasonings (salt, paprika, garlic powder, etc.). Toss until evenly coated.
4️⃣ Preheat the Air Fryer
Set to 200°C (390°F) for 3–5 minutes. Preheating helps with even browning and faster cooking.
5️⃣ Air Fry the Potatoes
Place fries in a single layer (don’t overcrowd). Cook at 200°C for 15–20 minutes. Shake or turn halfway through for even crispiness.
6️⃣ Check for Doneness
Fries should be golden brown and crispy outside, soft inside. If needed, air fry for an extra 2–3 minutes.
7️⃣ Serve
Transfer to a plate. Sprinkle extra salt or seasoning if desired. Serve hot with ketchup, mayo, or your favorite dip.
