Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Servings: 4

Difficulty Level: Easy

Ingredients:

• 4 large potatoes, washed and peeled
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
• Salt to taste
• Ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cut Potatoes:
   • Cut the peeled potatoes into evenly sized matchstick or wedge shapes. The uniform size ensures even cooking.
3. Soak Potatoes (Optional):
   • For crispier fries, you can soak the cut potatoes in cold water for about 15-30 minutes to remove excess starch. Pat them dry thoroughly before proceeding.
4. Season Potatoes:
   • In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil until well-coated. Add garlic powder and paprika for extra flavor if desired. Sprinkle salt to taste.
5. Air Fry:
   • Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not crowded. You may need to cook in batches.
6. Air Fry First Round:
   • Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes. Shake the basket or toss the fries halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
7. Air Fry Second Round:
   • After the initial 10 minutes, increase the temperature to 425°F (220°C) and air fry for an additional 8-10 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
8. Check for Doneness:
   • Check a fry to ensure it’s cooked to your desired crispiness.
9. Serve:
   • Remove the fries from the air fryer and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup.
10. Enjoy!
    • Enjoy these Easy Air Fryer French Fries as a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried fries.

Note:

• Experiment with different seasonings such as cajun, seasoned salt, or your favorite spice blend.
• Adjust cooking times based on your air fryer model and the thickness of your fries.
• Ensure the fries are spread out in a single layer for the best results.
