Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt.

Slice the washed potatoes into your desired fry shape. For classic fries, cut them into even sticks about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.

Dry the cut potatoes completely. Place them in a bowl and use paper towels to thoroughly blot away all moisture. This step is crucial for crispy fries.

Once completely dry, spray the potato slices with a 2-second spray of oil (such as avocado, peanut, or olive oil). Toss them gently to ensure an even coating.

Transfer the oiled potatoes to your air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer as much as possible for optimal crisping. Cook in the air fryer at 375-400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15–20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Shake the basket every 5 minutes to promote even cooking.

Once cooked to your desired crispiness, carefully remove the french fries from the air fryer basket and transfer them to a bowl.

Give the hot fries one more quick spray of oil and immediately toss them with your favorite seasonings. Seasoning after cooking with a little extra oil helps the seasoning adhere better and prevents it from burning.

Serve the air-fried french fries immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
