Seriously Amazing Air Fryer French Fries

Directions

1. 1
   Cut a thin strip off the side of the potato, then sit it cut side down. Work your way along the potato making 1/4 inch wide fries.
2. 2
   Add fries to a large bowl of cold water.
3. 3
   Let sit for at least 30 minutes all the way up to 12 hours.
4. 4
   Drain and rinse the potatoes, then arrange on a clean dish towel. Pat dry with a second kitchen towel until the surface of the fries is dried.
5. 5
   Add to a bowl the fries, olive oil, and salt. Toss until thoroughly coated.
6. 6
   Heat air fryer to 390°F/200°C. Arrange fries in the air fryer in a single layer so that they are not touching.
7. 7
   Basket style air fryer- cook for a total of 13 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping half way through. Work in batches to cook all fries; you can keep cooked fries warm by placing on a wire rack over a baking sheet and storing in the oven at 200°F.
8. 8
   Oven style air fryer- cook for a total time of 20 minutes or until golden and crispy, rotating the trays halfway through. All air fryers cook differently so keep an eye on them!
9. 9
   Add additional salt to taste, and serve immediately.
