anyone know how to make good air fryer fries? the times I tried, they were
I do it all the time. I let the potatoes sit in warm water for like an hour in a closed bowl before I cook them, just to make the potatoes softer and cook a little faster.
Cut them up in a bowl with the skin on them. I put maybe 5 caps full (the cap top for the oil) of oil in the bowl and rub the oil on the fries. Then throw them in the air fryer. Let them cook for about 45mins, it might seem kinda long if you got nothing else to do. But between the time move the fries around and try to spread them out.
Season the fries when they are about 95% done. In my opinion seasoning from the get-go makes them go dry much quicker when cooking them. I tend to use pepper and pink salt.
I make enough for like 3-4 people every time, using about 6-8 potatoes.
I really can't remember the last time I bought frozen fries, but it had to be at least 6 yrs ago.
