This recipe delivers perfectly crispy air fryer French fries with a savory seasoning salt blend, offering a lighter, homemade alternative to deep-fried fries. Quick, easy, and delicious, these fries have a crunchy outside and fluffy inside.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium Russet potatoes, peeled or unpeeled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian herb mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Optional: nutritional yeast

Instructions

  1. Wash and peel the potatoes if desired. Cut into even sticks about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
  2. Place cut fries in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes (minimum 15 minutes if short on time).
  3. Drain and dry fries thoroughly using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
  4. Return fries to a dry bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the savory seasoning salt blend. Toss evenly to coat all fries.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
  6. Arrange fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, shaking or turning halfway through.
  7. Check for crispiness; add 2-3 more minutes if needed, watching closely to avoid burning.
  8. Serve immediately, optionally sprinkling more seasoning salt or fresh herbs like parsley.

Notes

Ensure fries are dried thoroughly to avoid steaming and sogginess. Cook fries in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the basket for best crispiness. Soaking removes excess starch and improves texture. Adjust cooking time if using sweet potatoes. Reheat leftovers in air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes to regain crispness.
