Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 360°F for about 5 minutes.
- Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the potato fries in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Allow them to soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry using a kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Place the dried fries back into the bowl and drizzle with avocado oil. Toss well to ensure all the fries are coated.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the oiled fries and toss again to evenly distribute the spices.
- Carefully transfer the seasoned fries to the preheated air fryer basket. Make sure they are arranged in a single layer without overcrowding. You may need to cook them in batches.
- Cook the fries in the air fryer for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking. The fries should turn golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the fries from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the homemade air fryer fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish to your main meal.
Notes
- For best results, choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold.
- Make sure to cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces for even cooking.
- Feel free to adjust the seasonings according to your taste preferences.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the model of your air fryer. Adjust accordingly.
