This is how to make fries within 15 minutes
- First, you need to choose the right potatoes. Russet potatoes are the most common choice for fries, but you can also use Yukon gold, red, or sweet potatoes. You can peel them or leave the skin on, depending on your preference.
- Next, you need to cut the potatoes into thin and even sticks. This will ensure that they cook evenly and get crispy on the outside. You can use a knife, a mandoline, or a French fry cutter to do this.
- Then, you need to soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 20 minutes. This will remove some of the starch and prevent them from sticking together. Drain and pat them dry with paper towels before seasoning.
- To season the fries, you can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, or any other spices you like. You can also toss them with a little bit of oil to help them crisp up in the air fryer.
- To cook the fries in the air fryer, you need to preheat it to 400°F (200°C) and spray the basket with cooking oil. Arrange the fries in a single layer in the basket, leaving some space between them. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crisp.
- To serve the fries, you can sprinkle some more salt or cheese on top, if desired. You can also dip them in ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, or any other sauce you like
