Ingrédients
4 large potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet type)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
Paprika, garlic powder, or other spices of your choice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes Wash, peel and cut potatoes into French fries (0.5 to 1 cm thick). For a rustic texture, leave the skin on.
- Soaking For extra crispiness, soak fries in cold water for 15 to 30 minutes, then drain and dry well.
- Season In a salad bowl, mix the French fries with the olive oil, salt, pepper and spices of your choice.
- Airfryer cooking Preheat the airfryer to 180°C. Place the fries in a single layer in the basket and bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.
- Check and serve Once golden-brown, remove the fries from the airfryer. Adjust the seasoning if necessary. Enjoy with your favorite sauce!
Notes
- For even crispier fries, increase the temperature to 200°C for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
- Vary the spices according to your taste: smoked paprika, herbes de Provence, or cayenne pepper for spicy fries.
With the airfryer, home fries become not only lighter but also very easy to make. Whether as an accompaniment to a dish or as a snack, this crispy, tasty version of French fries is perfect for home-cooking enthusiasts. Try out different spices to vary the flavours, and bon appétit!
