They are a great side dish. They never fail to impress. A bad French fry is not bad. Do you think a really good french fry is possible? There is a really good fry. A bad fry is shamed.

It is a problem to cook fries at home. It takes a long time because of the amount of oil involved. French fries can be made in the air fryer, my friends. They don't require a lot of work and will taste great. A vat of oil will not be thrown away at the end of the process.

You need to know what to look for.

Ingredients

  • Three Russet potatoes can fit in your air fryer.

  • Canola oil is found in cooking oils.

  • Pepper and salt.

Directions

  1. Cut your potatoes using a knife. I left the skin on because I wanted boardwalk style fries. I sliced the potatoes into small pieces and put them into thin fries.

  2. Drop the cut fries into a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. The result will be crispier, fluffier fries.

  3. Remove the fries from the water and pat them dry.

  4. The temperature of your air fryer needs to be adjusted to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, season the fries with salt and pepper. The person who over-salted a potato should meet me. It's very difficult to do.

  5. When the air fryer is preheating, cook the fries for 16 minutes or until they start to brown. Shake the basket to make sure the fries cook evenly.

The details

The most important thing about this recipe is cutting the fries. Don't worry, it's not hard. The first thing you should do is slice the potato in half. You can rest the potato with this creation. After that, you cut the plank. I like eating thin fries so I sliced the thin plank into them.

The fries are dropped into a bowl of water. I let mine soak for a bit. All you have to do is set the fries aside and get ready to make the recipe. Don't worry if you don't have time to soak your fries, they will turn out fine.

You need to dry the fries, then coat them with oil and seasonings. It's not complicated.

I put my fries into the air fryer. You want to fill up the basket so that you have a lot of fries to eat, but not so many that air can't circulate. The hot air touching all sides of the fries makes for a good result.

Is it possible to make a delicious product in a deep fryer. It's definitely true. Double-frying fries in a vat of oil is the best way to cook them. That requires a lot of work and oil. The air fry method is very easy to use.

I think it's the best way to make french fries for most people since they don't have a lot of time to cook. It's better than frozen fries, but only a little. Break out the air fryer and make a delicious side for your burgers.
