Servings:

Use a mandoline or knife to cut the potatoes into French fry-shaped pieces.
6 large russet potatoes
Transfer the pieces to a large bowl filled with cold water. Allow the fries to soak for at least 1 hour. Rinse the fries off in a colander.
Transfer to a baking sheet lined with a paper towel. Pat the fries dry with additional paper towels.
Dispose of the paper towel, so just the potatoes remain on the baking sheet.
Preheat air fryer to 380°F.
Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
¼ cup olive oil, Kosher salt
Arrange 1 batch of fries in an even layer in the air fryer.
Cook for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer to a new baking sheet and place in a warm oven so they stay warm and crispy.
Repeat with the remaining fries.

A serving is 1 potato.

You can peel the potatoes or leave them unpeeled.
You can soak the potatoes for up to 24 hours before frying. Store them in the refrigerator while they soak.
Thoroughly dry the potatoes before air frying them to prevent oil splatter.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer or the fries will steam and turn soggy.
Serve immediately for the crispiest fries.

Storage: Store air fryer french fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
