Air fryer French Fries<\/strong>\u00a0are the deep fried french fries\u2019 healthy cousins. The potatoes are cooked with just a tiny amount of oil but still have a ton of flavor and crispiness.<\/p>\n

How to Cut the Potatoes for Fries<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Cut the potatoes into\u00a01\/4 inch thick<\/strong>\u00a0matchsticks if you would like typical french fry size, or cut them to 1\/2 inch thick matchsticks if you prefer more of a rustic and\u00a0meaty french fry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Cutting the potatoes\u00a0thinner<\/strong>\u00a0will give you a\u00a0crispier fry<\/strong>, but cutting them thicker will give you more to bite into. Everyone in our family, except my husband prefers the thicker cut fries :D.<\/p>\n

Also, keep in mind that to help the potatoes cook evenly, it is best to cut the potato into a \u201cblock\u201d by cutting off the round edges. Otherwise, the fries from the edges will cook faster and dry out.<\/p>\n

Tips for Success:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. The space around each piece of food is needed for even cooking and crispiness.<\/li>\n
  • Season the potatoes right before you\u2019re ready to cook, otherwise, the fries will be limp.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      How to make Fries in the Air Fryer<\/h2>\n

      The amount of potatoes is good for a 5.7 qt Air Fryer. Scale the recipe up or down according to the size of your fryer.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Preheat the air fryer for several minutes. Meanwhile, toss all ingredients together until the potatoes are evenly coated.<\/li>\n
      • Spray the inside of the fryer basket with nonstick spray. For a 5.7 qt air fryer spread most potatoes on the bottom of the basket, then place the top rack and arrange more potatoes on top.<\/li>\n
      • Cook for about 10 minutes, toss the potatoes, then return the potatoes back to the fryer and cook for another 5 \u2013 8 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy and cooked through.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
