For fries, you&#8217;ll want large taters with a high starch content\u2014try Idaho or russet potatoes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oil:\u00a0<\/strong>You need just a touch of oil to make air-fryer french fries. Our Test Kitchen recommends avocado oil, though you could use any cooking oil with a high smoke point, such as grapeseed oil or canola oil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasoning: <\/strong>With potatoes, basic is usually best. Our recipe calls for simple seasoning: salt, pepper, garlic powder and a sprinkling of fresh parsley to garnish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prep the potatoes<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1912928\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Easy-Air-Fryer-French-Fries_FT23_235671_JR_0817_1_YVedit.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"French fries cooling in water with ice\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>To start, preheat the air fryer to 400\u00b0F. Scrub your potatoes, and cut them into about 1-inch-thick sticks using a sharp <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-chefs-knife\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-chefs-knife\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">chef&#8217;s knife<\/a>. Place the potato sticks in a large bowl, and cover with ice-cold water. Let the spuds soak in the water for 15 minutes, then drain and pat dry. Toss the dried potatoes with the oil, salt, pepper and garlic in a large bowl.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip: <\/em>Soaking the potatoes helps remove some of the excess starch. This gives you a more tender, crispy fry.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Cook the potatoes<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1912929\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Easy-Air-Fryer-French-Fries_FT23_235671_JR_0817_4_YVedit.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Air fried french fries\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>For the best (and crispiest) results, cook the fries in batches so they don&#8217;t overcrowd. Grease the air-fryer basket, and arrange the potatoes in a single layer in the basket. Cook until crispy and golden, 15 to 17 minutes per batch, stirring and turning the potatoes every five to seven minutes so they brown evenly.<\/p>\n<p>Continue to cook until you&#8217;ve worked through all your fries. If you like, sprinkle all the cooked fries with chopped fresh parsley\u2014this adds a great pop of color. Then break out a bottle of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-ketchup-brands\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-ketchup-brands\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">the best ketchup<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h2>Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Go for a crinkle cut:<\/strong> Straight-cut fries aren&#8217;t your only option when making air-fryer fries. You can use a crinkle-cut knife to easily make wavy fries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Switch up the seasonings:\u00a0<\/strong>Salt and pepper are tried-and-true basics, but you can take these to the next level by tossing them in a tasty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/spice-blends\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/spice-blends\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">spice blend<\/a>.

To store air-fryer french fries in your freezer, prep and soak the potatoes as directed in Step 1 above (but don&#8217;t season them yet). Then, spread the prepped fries evenly on a sheet tray, and pop them into the freezer. Once frozen solid, transfer them to an airtight container or a freezer-safe resealable bag. Store in the freezer up to one year.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re ready to enjoy your air-fryer fries, toss them in oil, and season as described in Step 1 above. You can cook them right in the air fryer as described in Step 2, but they will require a little extra time.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips for Making Air-Fryer French Fries<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1916116\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Air-Fryer-French-Fries_FT23_235671_JR_0817_7_YVedit.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Air Fryer French Fries \" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat fries in an air fryer?<\/h3>\n<p>Good news: You can you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/reheat-fries-in-air-fryer\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/reheat-fries-in-air-fryer\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">reheat fries in an air fryer<\/a>, along with other leftovers. Just toss the fries in a 350\u00ba air fryer, and cook for three to four minutes. For best results, give the fries a shake halfway through the cook time.<\/p>\n<h3>How long should you air-fry french fries?<\/h3>\n<p>For this recipe, you should air-fry your fries for 15 to 17 minutes at 400\u00ba.<\/p>\n<p>For a bag of frozen fries, consult the package. Different cuts (like waffle or shoestring) call for different cook times. If the bag doesn&#8217;t specify air fryer directions, start with a 400\u00ba air fryer, and cook for 10 minutes. Check on the fries, and determine if they need more cook time.<\/p>\n<h3>Are air-fryer fries healthy?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/air-fryer-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/air-fryer-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Air-fryer recipes<\/a>\u00a0are healthy-<i>ish<\/i>.
