Air Fried French Fries

Crispy Perfection: Air Fried French Fries Recipe.
Who doesn’t love the crispy, golden goodness of French fries? While traditionally deep-fried, we’re here to introduce you to a healthier, equally delicious alternative: air fried French fries. With just a fraction of the oil and a whole lot of flavor, these fries will quickly become a favorite in your household. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:
– 4 large potatoes (russet works well)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt, to taste
– Optional: your favorite seasonings such as garlic powder, paprika, or rosemary

Instructions:

1. **Preheat Your Air Fryer:** Begin by preheating your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). This will ensure that your fries cook evenly and achieve that perfect crispiness.

2. **Prepare the Potatoes:** Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into uniform, thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. For extra crispy fries, you can soak the potato strips in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. After soaking, pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels.

3. **Season the Fries:** In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil until evenly coated. Add salt to taste, along with any additional seasonings you desire. Get creative here—garlic powder, paprika, or even a sprinkle of parmesan cheese can take your fries to the next level.

4. **Air Fry:** Arrange the seasoned potato strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, which can result in uneven cooking.

5. **Cooking Time:** Cook the fries in the air fryer for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the cooking time to prevent over-browning.

6. **Serve and Enjoy:** Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving plate. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup, aioli, or barbecue sauce.

7. **Optional: Customize Your Fries:** Feel free to get creative with your toppings and dipping sauces. Try adding melted cheese, bacon bits, or fresh herbs for a gourmet twist on classic fries.
