Crispy Air Fryer French Fries Only 4 Ingredients

Air fryers have revolutionized cooking nearly everything, including making your favorite crispy french fries in less time than baking in the oven!

Why We Love Fries in the Air Fryer

My air fryer is my new best friend! This easy recipe for homemade air fryer french fries replaces deep-fried fries for the perfect hamburger partner!

They are healthier than fast food (or even store-bought fries) and have great flavor. I definitely feel better eating these fries!

An air fryer circulates heat around each piece, crisping the outside while leaving the inside nice and fluffy making them quicker than oven fries.

Instead of deep-frying french fries, the air fryer uses a fraction of oil and has minimal cleanup, too! Or, stick with good old ketchup!

No Air Fryer?! No Problem!

You can make amazing crispy baked fries in the oven too!

Ingredients and Variations

POTATOES Russets are nice and starchy, they’re my first choice to give the perfect crisp with a fluffy interior.

You can make any kind of potato into fries; Yukon golds, red potatoes, or even frozen french fries!

SEASONING Olive oil (just a little though!), garlic powder, and seasoned salt are all that’s needed to complete the flavor of these fries! Lemon pepper seasoning is another favorite.

How to Make French Fries in Air Fryer

Air Fryer french fries are super easy to make and ready in no time for a perfect snack!

Cut and soak fries for 30 minutes (PRO TIP: add a little granulated sugar to the water for a slightly sweet flavor- lots of fast-food restaurants do this).
Drain fries and pat dry with a paper towel. Toss with oil and seasonings until all the pieces are evenly coated.
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket and into the preheated fryer.
Cook 10 minutes, shake the basket, and continue to cook until golden brown on the outside.

Serve air fryer french fries with chipotle aioli, honey mustard, cocktail sauce, or ranch dressing. Or, try making delicious chili cheese fries!

How to Reheat

Crisp up leftover air fryer French fries by placing them back into a preheated air fryer for about 3-5 minutes.
