The day I made air fryer French fries, I was instantly hooked.
They’re so perfectly crispy on the outside with mashed potato-like insides.
Plus, they’re just as crispy as deep-fried fries with none of the extra oil. And isn’t that what air fryer recipes are all about?
Air fryer French fries are the perfect side dish for a few reasons. First, these fries crisp to perfection in only 10 minutes.
Since they’re not deep-fried, they’re much healthier than your average fry.
Fresh fries are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and garnished with simple seasoning.
I love whipping up these quick fries when I’m craving a salty snack.
If you have the potatoes ready to go, you’re almost there.
These fries only require a few simple ingredients, most of which you likely have on hand. Here’s everything you need:

1. Prep. Wash and dry the potatoes. Then, cut them into equal 1/4-inch thick slices. You can opt to leave the skins on or remove them.
2. Soak the potatoes. Place the cut potatoes into a large bowl filled with cold water. Allow them to soak for at least 15 minutes. Then, pat them completely dry with paper towels.
3. Toss in the seasoning. Place the dried potatoes in a large bowl and toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Air fry. Arrange the coated potatoes in a single layer in your airy fryer basket and cook them for 10 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. Serve. Serve hot, and enjoy!
No one likes soggy fries! Follow these quick and easy steps for the crispiest potatoes.
Some days, I whip up a batch of French fries as a tasty snack for movie night.
However, they make the ultimate sidekick for burgers and hot dogs. The salty goodness of these fries is also perfect with this tasty Cuban sandwich.
No French fry is complete without a host of tasty dipping sauces. While ketchup is a classic, try out different dips like bleu cheese dip or a quick and easy hot bean dip.
I also like to make loaded French fry nachos with all the classic fixings as an appetizer for game night.
