How long to cookFrench Fries in Air Fryer?

The thinner you cut the potatoes, the faster the fries will cook in the air fryer. French fries should cook for 10 minutes in the air fryer before being flipped and stirred, then cooked for another 10 or 15 minutes. They’re done when they begin to turn golden brown and crispy.

Ingredients

Air Fryer Fries

  • 1 lb russet, golden or red potatoes washed & scrubbed
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or any oil of your choice
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Shiracha Mayo - 100% Optional

  • ½ cup mayo
  • 2 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon shiracha sauce 100% optional - more or less, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese 100% optional - finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon parsley finely chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the AIR FRYER to 400F. Cut about 5-7 golden potatoes into semi-thin strips. I like to use Vegetable Cutter for cutting potatoes.

  • Rinse potato strips in cold water. Then pat dry potatoes with paper towel. After toss fries with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil, salt and pepper to taste, then add them to the air fryer and cook for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, stir the fries with a wooden spoon then air fry for another 10-15 minutes, or until desired crispy texture.

  • While french fries are cooking, lets make the spicy mayo sauce - combine ½ cup of mayo with 2 tablespoon of ketchup and 1 teaspoon shiracha sauce, set aside (Feel free to adjust the sauce ingredients to your taste, or simply serve it with ketchup).

  • Garnish with 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese and parsley. Serve with spicy mayo or ketchup. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Store left over French fries in airtight container inside the fridge, to reheat place French fries inside the air fryer and cook at 350F for 5-10 minutes, or until crispy and heated thru.
