air fryer french Fries

Making crispy and delicious French fries in an air fryer is quick and easy! Here’s a simple recipe:

Ingredients:

• 2-3 medium-sized potatoes (Russet potatoes work best)
• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil (or cooking spray)
• Salt (to taste)
• Optional: pepper, garlic powder, paprika, or any seasoning of your choice

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
   • Peel the potatoes (optional) and cut them into even-sized fries or wedges.
   • Soak the fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes (optional but helps to remove excess starch for crispier fries).
   • Drain the water and pat the fries dry with a towel.
2. Season the Fries:
   • Place the fries in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss them to coat evenly.
   • Sprinkle with salt and any optional seasonings you like (garlic powder, paprika, etc.), and toss again.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer (if necessary):
   • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
4. Cook the Fries:
   • Place the fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd them, as this will prevent them from becoming crispy.
   • Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. Adjust the time based on how crispy you want your fries (more time for extra crispiness).
5. Serve:
   • Once the fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the air fryer.
   • Season with more salt if needed and enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce!
