Air Fryer Fries Ingredients

Making these fries is a cinch. Just a few simple ingredients for fries that are both wholesome and delicious. A win-win! You’re never going to want to go back to deep-frying. Air fryers even work for other appetizers like egg rolls and onion rings! They’re seriously the best!

Potatoes: I like to use Russets for a fluffy texture on the inside. OIive Oil: A heart-healthy oil that adds a bit of tasty, earthy flavor. Olive oil also helps your potatoes crisp up perfectly. Italian Seasoning: Makes everything taste great. It’s my favorite blend of herbs! Parmesan: So your air fryer French fries have a little melted cheesy goodness. Salt and Pepper: All to taste!

How to Make French Fries in an Air Fryer

With just a fraction of the oil used in deep-frying, these are the ideal snack for anyone trying to eat healthier without sacrificing flavor! Give your loved ones the taste they crave with an appetizer that’s also heart healthy.

Potatoes: Experiment with potato varieties. There are lots of different kinds of potatoes, each with unique properties. See which one you like best. Similarly, you can peel them or leave the peel on, however you like them! Even Slices: Cut the potatoes evenly so they are all the same size. This way they will also cook more evenly. Rinse or Soak: Whether you choose to just rinse your potatoes or soak them for up to 15 minutes, it’s important you don’t skip this step. It rinses some of the starch away allowing the potatoes to get nice and crispy. Just make sure you dry them really well, soggy potatoes equals soggy fries. Spices: There are so many different spices to try: black pepper, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, ranch seasoning, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder and rosemary, let your imagination run wild.

To Reheat: Bring refrigerated or frozen fries close to room temperature. Reheat at 425 degrees Fahrenheit in the oven or in the air fryer for about 5 minutes or until they are the texture and temperature you want. Then enjoy all over again with your favorite sauces! Fry sauce is always a good choice, but I have really been liking this copycat Cane’s sauce recently.
