This World French Fries Day, let’s welcome the air fryer revolution. Let’s peep into the secrets of achieving restaurant-quality fries right from your countertop. Air fryers are a game-changer for delicious French fries. They use hot air circulation to cook food, resulting in crispy textures with minimal oil.
Oil is Your Friend (But Not Too Much)

A touch of oil helps the fries crisp up. Choose high smoke point oils like groundnut oil. A light spray or toss with a tablespoon is plenty.
Temperature and Timing

Most air fryers work best preheated to around 400°F (200°C). Shake your fries halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. Cooking time can vary depending on thickness and desired crispness, so start with smaller batches and check often.
Double Soak

Soak your potatoes for 30 minutes in cold water, then rinse and dry thoroughly using paper towels. This removes excess starch for a crispier fry.
The Power of Salt

Season your fries with salt before air-frying. Skip the salting until after if you prefer a softer interior.
Don't Crowd the Basket

Overcrowding prevents air circulation and leads to soggy fries. Cook fries in a single layer for best results.
Beyond the Basics

Once you've mastered the classics, experiment with different flavours. Try adding herbs and spices like mint, paprika, or garlic powder before air-frying. Cheese lovers can drizzle melted cheese after cooking or sprinkle shredded cheese on top during the last few minutes.
