A quick easy way to cook hand cut French Fries!
Peel the potatoes. Evenly slice each potato to make 1/2 to 3/4 inch fries. Try to ensure that the fries are the same size for even cooking. A Mandoline is the easiest way to cut even fries.
Soak the fries in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes to one hour to reduce the starch and create crispier fries.
Drain the fries and thoroughly pat dry with paper towels
Toss the fries in olive oil and a little salt.
Arrange them in your air fryer basket in a single layer for best results.
Cook at 400°F for approximately 12-15 minutes, check them after 10 minutes. Exact cook time will vary depending on the size of your fries and your specific air fryer.
For best results serve right away while fries are still hot and crispy.
Potatoes - for best results choose Russet potatoes. They are often labeled as baked potatoes in the produce section of your grocery store. I like to peel them but you can leave the peel on if you prefer.
Servings - assumes an 8oz (226g) potato per serving.
Storage - these fries really are best served just as soon as they are cooked as they will rapidly lose their crispness. You can reheat them by putting them back in the air fryer basket for a few minutes but they will not be quite as crisp as they are freshly cooked.
