# Tips on making crispy french fries in an air fryer
Preparation and Seasoning
Start by washing and peeling the potatoes. Cut them into uniform thin strips. Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Pat them dry with a paper towel before seasoning.
Cooking Process
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes. Lightly toss the dried potato strips with olive oil, salt, and any other desired seasonings like paprika or garlic powder. Place the seasoned fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them.
Cooking Time and Temperature
Cook the fries in the air fryer for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fries and the specific model of the air fryer.
Serving and Enjoying
Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and season with additional salt if needed. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce like ketchup or aioli. Enjoy the delicious and healthier version of classic french fries made in an air fryer.
