How to Make Crispy Air Fryer French Fries
Description:
These crispy air fryer French fries are golden on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and made with a fraction of the oil used in deep frying. By soaking the potatoes to remove excess starch and then air frying at two different temperatures, you get restaurant-quality fries right at home—healthier, quicker, and just as addictive. Perfect as a side dish, snack, or midnight craving fix.
