Making this recipe in the oven
You can make these fries in the oven but must change the temperature and cooking time.
You’ll want to cook the fries for 20 minutes at 375 degrees F, give them a toss, and cook for another 20 minutes at 400 degrees F.
This is a rough estimate of cooking times, but it should guide you on how long to cook.
Always make sure to cook the french fries in a single layer.
Soaking the potatoes before frying
Although it’s easy to want to skip the step of soaking french fries, it’s a crucial step.
Yes, french fries will turn out if you skip this step, but why do that when you know soaking will result in perfectly crisp french fries?
You soak freshly cut french fries because it helps remove the excess potato starch to create a super crunchy french fry. It also helps so the french fry won’t brown too quickly.
Make sure to soak for at least 15 minutes, but I like to try to soak for at least 30 minutes.
Tips for making air fryer french fries
I just talked about the importance of soaking in water, so please don’t skip that step. That is the biggest tip to help you have super crispy french fries.
And who doesn’t want super crispy fries?
It’s also important to help cut the french fries into the same-sized slices. This will help to ensure all the french fries are fully cooked simultaneously.
You can do this by using a mandoline or your chef’s knife.
Reheating air fryer french fries
It’s a rarity that I ever have leftover french fries, but if you possess more willpower than I do, you can reheat them for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F.
Just make sure you are cooking them in one layer. If there is overlap, toss the fries in the basket halfway through cooking time.
