Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Air Fryer French Fries
  1. Clean and scrub the russet potatoes under cold running water, then slice them into even ¼-inch thick strips.
  2. Rinse the cut fries in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch, then thoroughly pat them dry.
  3. In a mixing bowl, toss the dried fries with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C) and cook the fries in a single layer for about 10 minutes.
  5. Toss the fries after 10 minutes, then continue cooking for an additional 6-10 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Remove the fries from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

For best results, choose russet potatoes and ensure they're dry before cooking for crispy fries.
