Notes
- There's no need to peel the potatoes before using them in this recipe. However, they definitely need to be washed well and dried.
- Make sure the fries aren't overlapping in the air fryer. You want them in a single layer, not touching each other, so the air can circulate properly in the fryer. Cook them in batches if needed.
- Vary the seasonings. Sprinkle a little cumin and chili powder on for a Southwest kick; garlic and Parmesan for a savory spin; or cinnamon and sugar for a sweet fry.
