Ingredients

- Soak in Water: Place cut fries in a large bowl of cool water and let soak for 20-30 minutes. This step helps to remove the starchy outer coating so they crisp up perfectly. Drain the cut potatoes and thoroughly dry off with a dish towel.
- Season the Fries: Add fries to a large bowl. Drizzle oil and sprinkle in salt. Toss fries until completely coated.1 tablespoon oil, ½ - ¾ teaspoon salt
- Cook in Air Fryer: Place fries into the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not touch on any of the sides. If using a 6-quart model, you will need to cook the fries in 2 batches in order to do this. Cook fries for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. For extra crispy or larger fries: Shake the basket and return the fries to the fryer for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Serve air fryer French fries with ketchup, mayonnaise, Sriracha Mayo, or homemade Remoulade Sauce. Enjoy!

Notes
- Potatoes: Cut the fries a similar size to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Air fryer: If you're cooking fries in batches, heat your oven to 250°F. Add the first batch of fries to a baking sheet and pop them in the oven to keep them warm while the second batch is cooking.
- Soak: Don't skip soaking the potatoes for the best results.
- Prep Ahead: Cut and soak the fries for up to 24 hours in advance.
- Storage: Place leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-5 days. To freeze, seal in a freezer-safe airtight container for up to 3 months. To reheat, return to a 350°F air fryer until heated through.
