French Fries in the Air Fryer
Crispy French fries, straight from the air fryer.
nonstick cooking spray
russet potato (about 6 ounces), unpeeled
1
medium
olive oil
1
teaspoon
kosher salt, or more to taste
½
teaspoon
freshly ground black pepper to taste
 Preheat an air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray the basket with nonstick spray.
  Cut potato in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch slices. Cut slices into 1/4-inch sticks. Put fries into a bowl and rinse well under cold running water. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
  Transfer dried fries to a bowl. Add oil and toss until well combined. Sprinkle with salt and season with pepper; toss to combine. Working in batches if necessary, place fries into the prepared basket; spread in an even layer and don't overlap.
  Cook in the preheated air fryer for 7 minutes. Turn fries and cook until golden brown and crisp, 7 to 9 more minutes. Remove from the air fryer and sprinkle with more salt to taste.
