Do’s and Don’ts
DO:
- Keep the fries in a single layer for the crispiest results. You may need to cook them in batches depending on your air fryer size.
- Experiment with different seasonings—garlic, parmesan, and truffle oil are all excellent choices.
- Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
DON’T:
- Overcrowd the fries—air needs to circulate around them to make them crispy.
- Forget to dry the fries if you soaked them—it’s key for getting that crispy exterior.
- Be afraid to eat your fries straight from the air fryer. You deserve it.
Variations:
- Sweet Potato Fries: Use sweet potatoes for a slightly different flavor. They’ll need a little less time to cook.
- Loaded Fries: After cooking, top your fries with melted cheese, bacon bits, and green onions, then pop them back into the air fryer for a few more minutes to melt the cheese.
- Spicy Fries: Add some cayenne pepper or chili powder for a bit of heat.
Air Fryer Fries are the perfect way to satisfy your fry cravings without deep frying. You’ll get all the crunch and none of the guilt—just crispy, golden goodness. 🍟✨
