Craving crispy, golden French fries without the guilt of deep frying? Say hello to your air fryer—the game-changer for healthier, crunchier, and tastier fries! Whether you’re serving customers or making a quick snack at home, here’s how to do it right:

✅ Ingredients:

• 2–3 large potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work best)
• 1–2 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray
• Salt to taste
• Optional: paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, or herbs for seasoning

🔥 Step-by-Step Air Fryer Method:

1. Peel & Cut:
Peel the potatoes (optional) and slice them evenly into thin sticks—about 1/4 inch thick for classic fries.

2. Soak for Crispiness:
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes. This removes excess starch, which helps them crisp up better.

3. Dry Completely:
Pat the fries completely dry with a clean towel. Moisture leads to soggy fries—drying is key!

4. Oil & Season:
Toss fries in a light coat of olive oil and season with salt or spices. Don’t overdo the oil—just enough to coat.

5. Air Fry Like a Pro:

• Preheat the air fryer to 190°C (375°F).
• Place fries in a single layer (cook in batches if needed).
• Air fry for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes for even cooking.

6. Golden Perfection:
Once golden and crispy, remove and serve immediately. Add extra salt or your favorite seasoning mix while they’re hot.

🍽️ Pro Tips:

• Want ultra-crispy fries? Soak them longer (up to 1 hour) and double-air-fry: 10 minutes, rest, then another 10.
• Try sweet potato fries or mix in parmesan and parsley for a gourmet touch!

Final Fry Thought:

Air fryers make it easy to enjoy restaurant-style fries without deep-frying. With the right prep, seasoning, and timing, you’ll get perfectly crispy fries—every single time.
