These Air Fryer French Fries Will Make Your Taste Buds Do a Happy Dance
Do you love french fries?
Try making delicious homemade french fries in the air fryer! They are super easy to put together and taste so YUMMY. I added Parmesan cheese and garlic to these fries, but you can serve them with salt and pepper or any other seasonings you prefer!
Fries were one of the first ideas I tried making in the air fryer, and they did not disappoint. Making easy side dishes like fries and potatoes are one of my favorite uses for the air fryer. They require very little oil and come out of the basket with AMAZING taste and texture!

These air fryer fries were gone in just a few minutes!
They are that GOOD.
Also worth noting, if you don’t want to cut up fresh potatoes, cook frozen fries in your air fryer! The result is just as YUM – and super simple.
Yum! We make sweet potato fries in our air fryer, too
Yum! I can’t wait to try those also ❤️
What brand and model of air fryer does everyone recommend for a family of 4? Thanks!!
Try a Philips large or extra large size fryer. You can always buy a cheaper one nowadays but I love the Philips.

I’ve made air fryer fries before. They come out like oven fried. They will NOT taste list deep fried fries from McDonalds. They are still good and tasty but oven fry tasty.
I have the nuwave air oven and I still haven’t figured out why my fries are not coming out crispy! I use frozen ones. Anyone had a success in an air oven?
I have the nuwave and I do 400 for aboit 8min turning half way that’s for frozen and enough for one person. So depending on how many your making just increase the time mine always come put perfectlu golden and tender on the inside. Just before there done taste Good luck
We have been loving our air fryer for fries! I highly recommend buying a french fry cutter gadget if you’re going to do this often. I think ours is this one and is still going strong after more than a year! https://www.amazon.com/Prepworks-Progressive-GPC-2549-Vegetable-French/dp/B00004RDFH/ref=sr_1_9?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1521845496&sr=1-9&keywords=french+fry+cutter
That looks fabulous! Thanks for the recommendation, Marni!
I love your air fryer recipes!
Thanks and yay!
Definitely trying this! Love my air fryer!
Lol..someone is a David fan.
Nice! But you don’t soak the potatoes to make them tender, you soak them to remove the starch so they come out crispier instead of soggy.
I just bought a new oven and it has an air fryer built in!!! It’s big and I’m scared to death of it. Do I cook the same way as the small air fryers do?
Oh wow! Honestly I would have no clue, maybe google some recipe times for your oven. That sounds super neat!
