Notes
Tips for the Best Air Fryer French Fries
- Allowing the cut potato to soak in water and then drying well will remove some of the starch from the potatoes, allowing them to crisp up better.
- Tossing the uncooked fries in a bit of cornstarch will also help to create a crispy exterior.
- Try to cut the potato sticks into even sizes to ensure even air frying.
- Give the air fryer basket a good shake while air frying to ensure the french fries don't stick together and get crispy.
