Air Fryer Homemade Fries
Air fryer homemade fries are easy to make in 30 minutes or less! Follow our simple guide to perfect crispy fries!
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Cutting board
- Chef's knife
Ingredients
- 1 large russet potato
- ½ Tablespoon avocado oil
- ½ to 1 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
- Cut potatoes into french fries by carefully slicing the potato into four sections lengthwise, then cutting those sections into fourths lengthwise (see video).
- Rinse the potato slices in cold water. No need to soak.
- Thoroughly pat the fries dry using a clean hand towel or paper towel.
- Place cut, rinsed, and dried fries into a large bowl. Toss with avocado oil, salt, and pepper. Mix to coat completely.
- Spray the air fryer basket using avocado oil in a spray bottle (not a cooking spray). See our guide to air frying oils for more info.
- Arrange the fries in a single layer as much as you can. A little overlap is okay.
- Air fry at 400°F for 15-18 minutes if using an air fryer model with a basket, or 18-20 minutes if using an air fryer model with a tray. Shake the basket halfway through the cook time.
- If the fries stick to the basket or tray when you try to shake/stir them, continue frying for another 3-5 minutes, then try again.
- Carefully remove your homemade fries from the air fryer basket. Toss with more salt if needed, and enjoy.
