Print Recipe

These homemade air fryer French fries are ultra-crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and finished with sea salt and fresh parsley. Quick, easy, and healthier than deep-fried, they’re the perfect snack or side for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Scrub and optionally peel the potatoes. Slice into 1/4-inch sticks, keeping sizes even.
  2. Place sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and soak for 20-30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. Drain and spread potatoes on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Pat dry thoroughly.
  4. Toss dried potatoes in a large bowl with olive oil, sea salt, and any optional seasonings until well coated.
  5. Preheat air fryer to 380°F for a few minutes.
  6. Arrange fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if needed.
  7. Air fry at 380°F for 16-20 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping fries halfway through. Check at 10 minutes and continue cooking until golden and crisp.
  8. Remove fries as they finish cooking to avoid burning. Continue in 2-minute increments if needed.
  9. Transfer cooked fries to a bowl and toss with chopped parsley and extra sea salt to taste.
  10. Serve hot. Keep finished fries warm in a low oven (250°F) if cooking in batches.

Notes

For best results, soak potatoes to remove starch and dry thoroughly before air frying. Cook fries in a single layer for maximum crispiness. Customize with different herbs or seasonings. Keep finished fries warm in a low oven if cooking in batches. Reheat leftovers in the air fryer for best texture.
