1. Air-Fryer French Fries
Air-fryer French fries are a popular alternative to traditional deep-fried fries due to their simplicity in cooking and healthier profile. Simply, preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Cut potatoes into even strips, soak them in water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then pat dry. Toss the potatoes with a small amount of oil, season them, and air-fry for 15-20 minutes. French fries's straightforward cooking method has made it a common dish for beginners.
Additionally, air-frying results in crispy fries with a soft interior using significantly less oil, reducing calories and fat. Unlike oil-fried fries, which can be greasy and heavy, air-fried versions are lighter without compromising the desirable crispiness.
