Crispy Air Fryer French Fries
Ingredients
  • 1 pound russet potatoes, peeled
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components.
2
Slice each potato into three-eighths-of-an-inch thick slabs, then cut those slabs into three-eighths-of-an-inch wide sticks. Submerge the potato slices in a bowl of chilled water, allowing them to sit for approximately five minutes to remove excess starches; drain the slices.
3
Immerse the potato sticks in boiling water, ensuring they are fully submerged by a few inches. Allow them to rest for ten minutes; drain the water.
4
Transfer the cooled potato sticks onto some paper towels, gently blotting off any excess moisture and permitting them to cool completely for at least ten minutes.
5
Combine the cooled potato sticks in a mixing container. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with cayenne pepper; thoroughly mix to coat the potatoes evenly.
6
Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
7
Layer the potato sticks in a double layer within the air fryer basket.
8
Cook for 15 minutes. Remove the basket and toss the fries to redistribute them; continue cooking until they achieve a golden brown color, approximately ten minutes more. Combine the fries with salt in a mixing bowl; serve immediately.
