Making french fries from scratch is so easy if you have an air fryer! No need to deep fry to get crispy fries - the air fryer method is truly revolutionary!
Make sure to wash your potatoes first. Then cut them into slender french fry shapes.
Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add in the oil, salt, and pepper to taste. You can also add in other seasonings of your choice here.
Stir well to combine.
Then pour the fries into the air fryer basket.
Set the temperature to 400F and cook time to 17 minutes.
After 5 minutes of cooking, take out the basket and give it a shake. You can also use a spatula to help move the fries around to prevent sticking.
Return the basket to the air fryer and let it continue cooking.
After another 5 minutes, remove the basket and shake it again to promote browning on all sides of the fries. Make sure to use the spatula if they are sticking.
Return the basket to the air fryer and let it finish cooking.
When done, serve warm and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
