For optimal crispness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary. Experiment with different types of potatoes to find your favorite flavor and texture. Add a pinch of smoked paprika or garlic powder to the oil for a flavorful twist. Serve immediately for the best results. Reheating may compromise the crispness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPeel the potatoes and cut them into uniform, 8 mm thick French fries. For consistent results, consider using a French fry cutter. (5 minutes)
02
StepSubmerge the cut fries in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours. This crucial step removes excess starch, resulting in crispier fries. Drain thoroughly and pat completely dry with kitchen paper. (30 minutes)
03
StepPreheat your air fryer to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C). (5 minutes)
04
StepIn a large bowl, gently toss the dried fries with the olive oil, ensuring each fry is lightly coated. Transfer the fries to the air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd. (2 minutes)
05
StepSlide the basket into the preheated air fryer and set the timer for 18 minutes. (18 minutes)
06
StepAfter 18 minutes, remove the basket and shake the fries vigorously to ensure even cooking. Increase the temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and cook for an additional 12 minutes. (1 minute)
07
StepAfter 6 minutes, remove the basket and shake the fries again. (1 minute)
08
StepContinue frying until the fries are a deep golden brown and crispy to your liking. Sprinkle generously with sea salt flakes immediately after removing from the air fryer. Serve hot on a platter and enjoy! (6 minutes)
