Air Fryer French Fries are sooo yummy when you make them in the air fryer! Plus they are sooo much healthier because you only use 2 tablespoons (or less!) of oil! And make sure you whip up some yummy fry sauce with your air fryer french fries! See my recipe below! We also LOVE air fryer hamburgers... I have a link for that one below too! ENJOY!

Air Fryer French Fries:
Serves 3ish
1.5 pounds russet potatoes (look for larger ones for nice long french fries!)
1-2 tablespoons oil
optional: 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp garlic powder (how do you love to season your fries?)
Cut potatoes lengthwise into planks, then into 1/2 inch sticks for the fries. Place potatoes in a large bowl and fill with cold water. Drain and repeat until water stays clear. Then cover with HOT tap water and let sit for 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry well. Then gently toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil in a dry bowl. Cook for 5-10 minutes at 350˚F/177˚C or until potatoes go from white to blonde in color. Transfer back to bowl and gently toss with 1 more tablespoon of oil (optional) and your seasoning of choice (or just salt at the end of cooking). Cook for 10-20 more minutes, depending on the thickness of your fries, tossing in the bowl every 5 minutes for even coating and air frying.

Very helpful
I want to 6mm x 6mm julienne cut them in the food processor. How will this effect cook times?
@@RaechelSykes Not sure exactly. I would start by cutting the cooking time in half, and then add more time as needed, until they reach desired crispiness.
Im new to air frying what air fryer would you suggest 😯
Oh my gosh. You are teaching an old timer (87) new tricks. I have never done much cooking, but our daughter gave us an air fryer and then I discovered you on CZcams. My first attempt was "grilled" cheese sandwiches. Using your techniques it turned out great. Then I tried frozen French fries and they also came out really good. So thanks for your enthusiastic presentations.
You are so welcome!
That is so awesome! This person is 87 and is experiencing lots of fun with the air fryer thanks to this great Channel!
@@keri117 I think they’re a male not a female.
@@keri117 Neal is not a lady name.
@@maktoobyt2009 yup I got it, my mistake, I was looking at the commenters name Neal and I thought that's who the person was! 🙄
Ever since I came across your channel, I have been using my air fryer like crazy! I love your recipes and all of the tips and tricks. Thank you so much for helping me making my air fryer not a "dust catcher" anymore...
Yay Dorothy! I am so happy to hear that! It's my mission here on the Tubes! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Me too kkkk. Today I have seen all my mistakes
Omg me too 😁
Me too
I agree with Dorothy !! Having a new cooking appliance means you should learn about it, it's different enough to come to an expert like FF and get it done the right time and use the techniques. Thanks FF, I subscribed to the Best teacher /cook and I have a Cosori, too !!
I'd buy that cookbook of yours if I could. Your videos have helped alot in learning how to cook vegetables I normally wouldn't eat because my parents ruined them for me.
And absolutely love your kids inputs!🙃
I normally don’t leave comments but this technique is on point. The fries came out crispy and creamy. THANK YOU
Cathy, these French Fries and your sauce are the best!!! My husband said he never had so perfect meal and was amazed to hear that no frying was involved. I used Russet potatoes and followed all your tips - they turned out just as they should be. Thank you very much for sharing and teaching us how to Air Fry! 👍😍🌹
I’ve made these four times in the past few weeks...addicting! They are absolute perfection! Thanks!
Yay! So glad you're loving them!
I can confirm that this is the ultimate guide , thank you♥️ I just made some, but I bolied the potatoes a bit after the rinse and added paprika to the spice mix, they were PERFECT 😗👌🏻
Oh that sounds great! Thx for the idea!
I boil for 4mins before popping in the air fryer
@@lynnetuitt9449 Do you dry them and season?
These were excellent. I didn’t notice much starch in the water after the 10 minute hot soak. Thanks for the finger-width tip; it helped a lot!! I opted against dumping the fries out after they had cooked a bit and henceforth after because my AF doesn’t have a basket, just a rack. The rack falls out with the fries, and when hot, it’s a bit of a problem! I did use tongs to move things around thoroughly every 5 minutes. I tried some Lawry’s Seasoned Salt and it was good, and added ketchup as I didn’t feel like doing anymore work and it was delicious enough! Found your channel a few days ago and have been going nuts with the AF!!
Yay Ann! So glad you found me! And thx for another kind review! You're the best!
Cathy, thank you for all the great tips and recipes. I tried your fries and they were perfect!
Yay! And you are so welcome!
Probably the best Air Fryer recipe CZcams EVER!
Thank you!
Hi Cathy, the chips looked lovely and so did your dip. I do mine with a crinkle cutter and I cut them a bit thicker. I use garlic flavoured olive oil and steak seasoning. With having the cosori dual blaze, the thicker chip works better. I do them at 180 degrees for about 23 mins and they turn out perfect.
just found your site and it is amazing. Your instructions/tips/demonstrations are among the best I've seen anywhere on line. Great job! listing the time stamp for different aspects is brilliant and great for going back and rechecking something. Thank you. I am looking forward to Air Fryer adventures. (Have already been seduced by the IP and don't know how I managed before I had one of those!!)
The editing is on point! Can’t wait to try these!
Well thank you!
This is a great receipt that has become pretty-much my standard. It is quite important to cut uniformly, soak and dry the fries. After 10 minutes in my Cosori Air Fryer, I add them back to the bowl and sprinkle in the seasonings, whatever I am in the mood for. One trick that I do sometimes because I read that McDonald's soaks its fries in beef stock--and I cannot be bothered to do that--is to add a dash of powdered beef bouillon to the seasoning. After that, I put them back in the basket, turn up the heat, check them every five minutes and toss them in the basket without returning them to the bowl. Doing it this way, they turn out better than most restaurant fries: They are not as good as the best, but they are better than most. One way that I have been eating them recently is to immediately drizzle Okonomiyaki sauce and Kewpie Mayonnaise on them whilst hot and, then, sprinkle on some Japanese Furikake Seasoning. Also, with the right seasonings, they are delicious even without any extra sauce.
Those are some great pro tips, Ron! Thank you for sharing! I have a list of things I want to try with these fries... adding this one to it! Thank you!
Is the Beef bouillon is the same as Beef flavor broth?? I can't find something called Bouillon in my country.
@@Accomplish305 yep!
@@Accomplish305 beef bullion is a powder
Thank you so much for this Cathy. I have soaked mine in cold water and dried, but never did the hot water. I will definitely do this next time. Hubby and I love fresh homemade fries in the air fryer, so much healthier. Your daughter is darling... Take care, and hugs. Claudia
Thanks Claudia! Let me know if you feel like it changes anything for you. Have a wonderful weekend!
Hi, first of all thanks and nice done!
What I do and getting super crisp on the outside and super soft on the inside, is steam the potatoes for 15 minutes and than on max temp for 12 to 15 minutes depending on thickness
Thank you! I'll have to give that a try!
Terrific video, Cathy. Very concise and clear. My first effort turns out brilliantly thanks to you. But a question. Does your technique work equally well with sweet potatoes and yams?
OMG!! I Made these for kiddos and ended up having to make 3 more batches for them and me cause they were soooo awesome!!! Thank You for your recipe!
I made the fries according to your directions- they were delicious! Crispy on the outside, still soft on the inside, evenly cooked, not greasy or oily. A little bit of work, but worth it!
I just made these yesterday. I followed everything you said. They turned out amazing. My family and I really enjoyed them! I will definitely make them again!! Thank you.
So glad! Good work!
I tried your french fry fix in my newly purchased air fryer, and it was great. Thank you so very much.
I would usually double fry and I wouldn’t do the second batch of oil and they would always be dry and hurt my stomach, can’t wait to try this method.
I NEVER comment on videos but I have to share that I followed the directions to a T and my fries were amazing. I couldn't believe how delicious they were. Thank you for creating the best way to make air fryer French fries!
Oh my gosh these taste really good thank you for teaching me because I have such a rude family they never wanna teach me anything and you being so kind and humble to teach us really is appreciated!
You are very welcome!
This actually works. 👌🏻great recipe, very well explained. Followed the exact steps and got crispy fries. Thank you.
Love this!! Thank you for making and sharing 💞💕💖
Thx so much for watching and sending the good vibes! ❤️
Omg thank you so much! Video was really helpful 😁😁😁
I love the idea of the second toss in olive oil and is probably what I was missing. I like the oven fried part when baking them is the oild coatingvs air fried. when I air fried the first time it was dry and hollow.I will definitely trying this.
Ok ty
finally! I nice and informative video of HOW to do this! thank you so much! loving the content and flow
I do love homemade fries. The way I have made them for years is a two step frying method like you did. First to cook them through and second, at a higher temperature, cooking them to they are crisp. The only oil to use, ir fat, is rendered duck fat. It's as good as frying things in bacon fat. So I when I get an air fryer I will try it your way but with duck fat.
There is a restaurant in my area that makes avocado fries. They first cut them into strips and bread them in a mix of quinoa and other seeds and then fry them. The outside is crispy and the inside are soft. The are seved with a chipotle mayonnaise and are very addictive! I will experiment and get back to you.
Hey there! I actually made a keto version of avocado fries in this video (with pork rinds though). I didn't love the saltiness of the pork rinds, but they were good otherwise! I'd love to hear what you do on the outside! czcams.com/video/58V0nkaYmfI/video.html
At first I was like oh this is work tryna move them around every 5 mins. But I tried it anyway, and they came out perfect! Thank you😊
Wow this was so detailed and engaging and my fries turned out great! Thank you so much!
I'm so glad! You are welcome!
I just followed your instructions to make fries for the first time in my life for my 5 year old daughter. She said they were the best fries in the world! Thank you!
Hello ! Just discovered your channel. I think your channel will be very helpful to me since I'm a new airfryer user. My airfryer hasn't arrived yet, but soon coming. Look forward to seeing more from you. Thanks from California. 🌅
Welcome! YES you have come to the right place! I just finished filming a video with 4 recipes that are PERFECT for new air fryer owners! Watch for that this coming Saturday! So glad you're here!
Just brought home an air fryer and found your channel. First cook, 3 red potatoes (what I had) cut and steamed for 15 minutes, dried, then tossed (shake & bake style) with oil/salt/garlic/basil/paprika and into the fryer at 400F for 8 min, toss then 8 min more. Result pretty good, but I think could be better. Maybe over steamed and under fried just a touch, but not a bad breaking in. Wings on deck in a couple hours. New tool, but the learning curve looks to be steep (aka fast).
Sounds like you're doing great to me!! Way to go!
This is a great recipe / procedure. The fry sauce is awesome. Thank you very much.
Just made these, Very Good!!!!
i tried your recipe today! it was a great success of homemade french fries 🍟!!! thank you ❤️!!!
The most adorable and cutest girl, made the fries even better.
💕 Thank you!
I think she is going to go places , so professional what she does.. but extremely adorable with her beautiful smile. She certainly has the moves too
@@matthewbentley1537 thank you!
This is exactly how I prep chips for a regular oven, so this reassuring that the air fryer is going to work out for me. Just bought the Instant Vortex Plus 5.7litre. 😊
Making fries right now with skin on an scrubbed clean. Never heard of that sauce but will give it a try. Awesome YT channel!!
Enjoy!!! Let me know how you like the fry sauce!
Omg I'm about to make this thank you so much for the recipe ❤
This method works better than my usual method. I've always soaked my fries in the cold water, but never hot water. Love the hot water soak! Works much better. Cooking them for 5-10 minutes on 350 is like blanching fries in oil. Definitely my new favorite way to do fries. P. S. I don't use oil, but my fries hold seasoning without. Even healthier and I don't use oil for anything anymore.
That's awesome, Karen! Thanks for sharing this review!
Thank you :) This is the best video I've found for homemade Air-Fryer Fries.... :) Much appreciated.
Hi Cathy! This was my first recipe from you. YUMMY and MUCH LIGHTER calorie-wise. THANKS!
I used my purple vegetable wedger from Amazon to cut the spuds, my new avocado oil sprayer then arranged them in my air fryer. YUMMY + YAY!
I love roasted almonds but I must limit sodium. Unfortunately, unsalted almonds cost 5X the price. Air fryer to the rescue!
I put two cups of salted almonds in a colander, swish the almonds in some clean sink water, then toss them into the air fryer for 4 minutes, shaking at 2 minutes. Crunchy, yummy and MUCH LESS sodium! Recipe inspired by watching your videos!
👍😍💖😍👍 😷STAY😷SAFE😷 👁
Hey hey, Gary! Way to go!! I love that you figured out a way to solve a problem, using your air fryer! Brilliant idea! Take care and let me know what your next concoction is! I'm thinking I need to do a video highlighting cool recipes my viewers are creating!
@@empoweredcooks Hi Cathy. That is a GENIOUS IDEA. I'm sure others have much more to share than I. This could be a GREAT Fabulessly Frugal playlist!
Ty for shearing. I did the same method of pre cooking than upping heat but did not do the second coat of oil. My'n weren't great but definitely better than the friy pre set. Will have to try the second coating next.
thank u so much i was at home alone and i was hungry and i was craving fries but idk how to make it and i wastch ur video and it helped alot thanks!
Thanks Cathy for another great tutorial.
You are so welcome!
Thank you! Just made french fries using your method and kids say they are the best!
Great presentation style! Just got an air fryer, trying it today!! 🎉
I got an ARIA Air Fryer. I use the rotisserie cage to cook the air fries. Makes fresh fries with your recipe.
I just tried these tonight. You are a genius!!!!!!
Just tried your Recipe the way you explain it was so easy to make and were really yummy😍 thankYou.
So glad it worked!
We use a mandoline to slice our fries for consistency. For steak cut fries I hand slice. Thanks for your tips. 🙂
Great job & instructions!
Nice tips I’ll give it a try. Thanks👍
First time trying they came out great thanks to this video.. Thanks!
Thank you for this my 4 year old loves this 😊 and your sauce!!
I just made french fries using my air fryer. They turned out perfectly!
Yay! I'm so glad Karla! ❤
Thanks for the help.
Just got my air fryer and I just found you, and I'm so happy to get started. What temp and how long for frozen fries?
I like to start with baking frozen fries for 10-20 minutes at 380˚F/193˚C depending on thickness of the
fries. Be sure to shake halfway.
I will definitely be trying your method. I only rinse mine once but now I will do it several times. Also, I have one of those things that cuts ripples. Makes the fries really pretty! :)
Oh so fun! I bet my kids would love it if I used a tool like that! :)
@@empoweredcooks I checked. It's called a crinkle cut knife. Many different prices but I got the most basic one pretty cheap.
@@clarepastore7787 thank you!
i love this way of preparing air fries ! thanks again.... tonight is another dinner side !
YUMMY! Have a great night, Bev!
Looks Delicious !
Thank You .
Omg I literally just purchased this same air fryer, so excited to see your channel. A few fan.
Hi Donna! You're going to love this air fryer!
@@empoweredcooks thanks. I am loving it. I meant a new fan not few 🤦🏾♀️🙈
I tried your recipe last night. Delicious!
Glad you liked it!!
hello cathy, thanks for the recipe. I am having the airfryer oven 14.5 liters. I want to know is the temperature and time same for that also, do we need to do it with both top and bottom heating elements on, please reply, thanks.
i add vinger in the bowl while soaking the fries..it gives it an amazing taste
This worked really well for me, might try this with sweet potatoes too
FANTASTIC. Perfect. Thank you.
Thank you :)
Nicely done😁
Excellent tips! Thanks!
I love everything about this.
Thank you! Enjoy your fries!
After I watched lots of videos about air fryers which you have uploaded, I just bought (online) Black+Decker 4L Digital Air Fryer, Model no:AIRF-OGB400-B5, it's around $155 and hope it will give a better output. if you can find a same model, you can try it too and share the experience. I learned a lot about air fryers because of this channel, thank you very much Fabulessly Frugal
I hope it works out great for you!
We got the same air fryer a few days ago. I don't know why I never bought one before. It makes great chicken. And it's nice to make frozen pre-made onion rings and control portions and have less greasy foods that taste just as good. Next I'll make mini pizzas from scratch and see how that works out. You make great videos.
Yay! YES it's so great! Enjoy!
I'm sure these are wonderful. Truly. But it seems like a ton of work. When I was a teen, I worked as a fast-food cook. We merely parboiled up tons of potatoes the day before then let them sit overnight in the fridge. The next day the skin scraped off like magic. We then used a french fry press to cut them into the same size and then we par-fried many quarts of them in hot oil. When an order came in for fries, we put an order of the partially-fried ones into the basket. Perfect. Of course, that requires a bit more planning but it was a restaurant. I am actually going to try to make them today using half my recipe (boil and cool) and then my air fryer for the final cooking process.
I thought I knew how to handle potatoes! But you explained it the best way anyone can
Wow, thanks my mom was saying the fries was difficult to perfect so I sent her this video. ☺️
Oh yay! I hope it helps her!
Amazing!!!! Perfect receipe
this channel is the reason im eating good meals daily. Thanks!
Happy to hear that!
Tyvm for those tips, my first attempt was a so so experience, I will get better at it and eventually impress my friends and family! Amazing channel, love your videos and my red Cosori!
You got this!
*THANK YOU.. MAKING THEM TODAY.. THEY LL SHOW ON FRIDAY. YUMM*
I can't imagine how many experiments for air-fried french fries you did to come up with some specifics!!! :O Thank you so much :)
Haha you don't want to know!! Thanks for watching!
This was very helpful! Thank you
You are so welcome!
You can also try this method for even crispier fries : simmer the potato fries with a 1/2 tablespoon of baking soda and 1 tablesppon of salt for 8 minutes before air frying. (The baking soda makes the outside of the potato rough so it gets crispier when you cook them in the air fryer ) . After simmering , drain and toss in a bowl with a few sprays of oil and then air fry for 20 minutes at 400F :)
Simmer on heat?
@@healwithmarianna yes; just let the water boil and then turn it down so that it just bubbles softly ....it is still quite hot just not at boiling point
Very nice. My go to seasoning is Lawry's Seasoned Salt if not using a dip. Sea salt with my favorite dip which is Bob's Bleu Cheese salad dressing
Oh that sounds yum! I'll have to try that soon!
Thanks for the tips!
You are very welcome!
Thank you very much. Delicious food 😋
Thank YOU! 😁
I love these recipes!
Do you think a small air fryer will work? I'm looking at the Instant Pot 2 quart.
Thank you So much for this recipe
You are most welcome 😊
Can you please tell me if I have to use another potato beside russet (I live in Costa Rica and we don't have them) do I follow the same way ?
Hi Terri! You can certainly try it out with other types of potatoes! Just follow the same guidelines!
I love these video's because I have a Cosori air fryer 😁💫
Love the Cosori!
love the crinkle cutter! Love this video! make air fryer fries now1
I've tried a few online methods and with okay to poor results. Your method is worth a try. Seems like a lot of work for fries though. I use my method which is peel, cut (starfrit pototo chipper), wash, dry, oil and then cook for 12 min at 400 and flip after 7 min. I eat in the dark while watching a movie so I get by. Once again I will try your method. You did a great job
Thank you for this video, I've never made homemade fries. I have an Instant Vortex with a rotating basket, so no need to toss ;) We called these boardwalk fries growing up in New York, frequenting Coney Island. We always got them salted and added Malt Vinegar. YUMMM! Can't wait to make these...New Sub :)
Thanks for the sub! Hope you enjoy!
Hi!!! I really liked your video. Im using my AF more but am still leary about some things. I shall give these fries a try. Great video!!! Stay safe. P. S. Im just a salt and ketchup gal!!!
You're right on track... Just keep trying and testing! Thx for watching Diane!
Guess what!!! My mom got an air fryer as a gift for her birthday 🥳🤗! I sent her the link to your channel 😊! I plan to get mine for myself for Mother’s Day 🙏🏿! Can’t wait to try this! And the fry sauce looks amazing 🤤! Thanks for sharing ❤️!
That is awesome! Yay for your mama (and you!).
@@empoweredcooks Right?! Definitely looking forward to putting these videos to use 🤗!
These were the BEST!!!!!!! Saved!!!!!
Yay!
