- Preheat air fryer to 370ºF.
- Add about half of the potatoes to the air fryer and spread them into a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes, stir the potatoes well to flip them, and cook for another 8-10 minutes until crispy.
- Serve immediately or pour onto a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and place in the oven at 200ºF to keep warm while you cook another batch.
Notes
- Do not crowd the basket, or your fries will steam instead of being crisp.
- Season with any of your favorite spices.
- Don’t skip soaking the potatoes in water; it removes some of the starch and makes the fries crispier. Make sure to dry the potatoes well.
