Air Fryer French Fries

Recipesfull introduces to you: Vegetable Side Dish Recipes. (Air Fryer French Fries). Since I missed the whole Instant Pot® train, I had to make at least one air fryer recipe while they're still hot. And it doesn't get more classic than French fries; the generally accepted technique is pretty, dare I say, airtight, at this point, but I do have one extra trick in store! Finally, dip them in honey mustard, spicy ketchup, garlic aioli, or all 3 mixed together, like I did.

Air Fryer French Fries

Ingredients

1 pound russet potatoes

peeled

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

1 pinch cayenne pepper

½ teaspoon kosher salt

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Cut each potato lengthwise into 3/8-inch-thick slices. Slice sections into sticks also about 3/8 inch-wide.

Step 2

Cover potatoes with water and let soak for 5 minutes to release excess starches. Drain and cover with boiling water by a few inches (or place in a bowl of boiling water). Let sit for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Drain potatoes and transfer onto some paper towels. Blot off the excess water and let cool completely at least 10 minutes. Transfer into a mixing bowl; drizzle with oil season with cayenne and toss to coat.

Step 4

Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Stack potatoes in a double layer in the fryer basket. Cook for 15 minutes. Slide basket out and toss fries; continue frying until golden brown about 10 minutes more. Toss fries with salt in a mixing bowl. Serve immediately.
