Air Fryer Salt And Pepper French Fries

It's deceptively easy to make the best fries at home from scratch. No trickery. I just use quality ingredients and an air fryer.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch thick sticks
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat: Set air fryer to 360º and preheat the cooking basket for 3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preseason potatoes: Toss the sliced potato sticks with olive oil until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Air fry: Pull out the basket and add fries. Close the Air Fryer and set the timer to 15 minutes. Shake the basket every 5 minutes to help the fries cook evenly. If the fries are still gold and shiny, cook in additional increments of 3-5 minutes (and shake the basket each time you open it). The fries are ready when they are a rich golden brown.

  4. 4

    Season and serve: Season with more salt and pepper and top with chopped parsley.
