Air Fryer Homemade Fries

Air fryer French Fries are the deep fried french fries’ healthy cousins. The potatoes are cooked with just a tiny amount of oil but still have a ton of flavor and crispiness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium potatoes
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black ground pepper
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Prep: Peel the potatoes and cut them lengthwise into 1/4 – 1/2 inch thick matchsticks. The more even the fries, the more evenly they will cook and crisp up.
  2. Toss together: In a bowl or a ziplock toss the potatoes with the oil and the seasoning until evenly coated.
  3. Load into the Airfryer:
    Load the potatoes into the air fryer, trying to space have at least a little bit of space between each fry. Now load the basket with most of the potatoes. Next, place the rack on top and add more potatoes to the top rack trying to have as much space between each fry as possible.
  4. Turn the air fryer to 390F and the cooking dial to 15 minutes. After 10 minutes toss the potatoes to promote even cooking. Cook for another 5-8 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy and cooked through. 1/2 inch fries will take about 4-5 additional minutes to cook.
