Since I missed the whole Instant Pot® train, I had to make at least one air fryer recipe while they're still hot. And it doesn't get more classic than French fries; the generally accepted technique is pretty, dare I say, airtight, at this point, but I do have one extra trick in store! Finally, dip them in honey mustard, spicy ketchup, garlic aioli, or all 3 mixed together, like I did.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Cut each potato lengthwise into 3/8-inch-thick slices.

Slice sections into sticks also about 3/8 inch-wide.

Cover potatoes with water and let soak for 5 minutes to release excess starches.

Drain and cover with boiling water by a few inches (or place in a bowl of boiling water).

Let sit for 10 minutes.

Drain potatoes and transfer onto some paper towels.

Blot off the excess water and let cool completely, at least 10 minutes.

Transfer into a mixing bowl; drizzle with oil, season with cayenne, and toss to coat.

Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Stack potatoes in a double layer in the fryer basket.

Slide basket out and toss fries; continue frying until golden brown, about 10 minutes more.
