Air-Fryer French Fries
Quick and easy french fries in the air fryer!
Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 2 medium or large potatoes
- 1 tbsp canola oil any neutral flavored oil will work
- ¾ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp black pepper for white pepper, you may want to do a bit less
Instructions
Prep Work
- Cut the potatoes into strips about ¼ inch wide (about the thickness of a pinky finger). They don't have to be perfect, but thicker fries will take longer to cook through.
- Put the cut potatoes in a large bowl/container and add the oil and spices. Stir the spices and potatoes together to coat evenly. If your container has a lid, you might find it easier to shake everything together.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 ℉ and set the time to 17 minutes (if your airfryer has a french fry setting, you can probably just use that).
Cooking
- Once the air fryer is preheated, add the seasoned potato wedges and cook, shaking the air fryer basket half-way through. If your fries are underdone or not as crispy as you would like, add up to 3 more minutes of time.
Notes
- If you feel like your potatoes might need more seasoning, you can always add it once they are cooked! Err on the side of caution before you can taste them.
- Obviously if you go through the 20 minutes and your fries still aren't cutting it, keep cooking! However, as a tip, if you run out of time on your air fryer you will either need to pout the fries out so that you can preheat it and cook again or, if your air fryer has a "reheat" setting, you can cook it on the "reheat" setting with a higher temperature.
- If two potatoes are not enough for your cooking needs, I have successfully cooked up to four, but you will need to double the recipe and increase the cooking time to around 25-30 minutes.
