How to Cook Perfect French Fries in an Air Fryer
French fries cooked in an air fryer are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried fries. Follow these steps for crispy and golden fries:
Preparation
– Start by washing and peeling your potatoes. Cut them into evenly-sized strips for even cooking.
– Soak the potato strips in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a towel.
Cooking Process
– Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
– Lightly coat the potato strips in oil and seasonings of your choice.
– Place the fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they’re not overcrowded.
– Cook for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Check for Doneness
– After the initial cooking time, check the fries for desired crispiness. Cook for a few more minutes if needed.
– Remember that the cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fries and the air fryer model.
Serving
– Once the fries are crispy and golden brown, remove them from the air fryer and season with salt or any other desired seasonings.
– Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a burger for a delicious meal.
Enjoy your perfectly cooked French fries that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, all thanks to your trusty air fryer!
