What Kind of Air Fryer Can I Use For Making Homemade Air Fryer French Fries?

While everyone worries if their air fryer will work with this recipe, the truth of the matter, air fryer recipes are very adaptable. Although the timing might vary slightly (by a couple of minutes), air fryers all work the same.

So, whether you have the Ninja Foodi, the Instant Pot Crisp Lid, or an Air Fryer Oven, Air Fryer Basket model, or the best air fryer. You can all enjoy a delicious plate of Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Fries.

Pro Tips:

  • Crispy Air Fryer Garlic Fries: Everyone wants crispy French Fries; the real key is to make sure that each French Fry has a layer of olive oil. Not much, but a thin layer, which will help the air fryer crisp up your French Fries.
  • What Potatoes To Use For Air Fryer French Fries? The best type of potatoes to use for French Fries in the air fryer is Russet potatoes. Russet potatoes are a great choice for Air Fryer French Fries because they hold their shape. You can either leave the peel on or peel.
  • Washing The Potatoes: Remember to wash the potatoes well and then dry them well since they will crisp up so much better without water.
  • How To Cut Air Fryer French Fries? If you want to create the perfect French Fry shape, I recommend purchasing a mandoline, which will cut the same size. This is important because you want each French fry to cook at the same time. The mandoline makes it possible since they cut uniformly.

Why Soak Poatotes For French Fries?

Most of us never made deep-fried French fries before the air fryer. There is a large argument between soaking vs. non-soaking.

While soaking the potatoes to make French fries helps to crisp up the French fries, sometimes we do not have the time; I recommend doing it, but since you need to soak them for at least an hour to get rid of the excess starch from the potatoes. It does make the French Fries crisper, which is the taste we are all after.

If you do soak, please make sure that the French Fries are completely dried, otherwise, they will be very soggy.

How To Reheat Air Fryer Fries?

This is one of the most common questions I get asked if you want to reheat fast food or homemade French Fries (I mean who would throw them away?)

Toss them into the air fryer basket and set the temperature to 400 degrees F, air fryer setting, and air fry for 5-7 minutes.

How To Store Leftover French Fries

The best way to store leftover fries is to let them cool to room temperature, and then place them into an airtight container, or warp them in parchment paper, or aluminum foil.

How To Make Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Fries Frozen

This is a simple recipe that you can adapt by using frozen french fries. Cook the frozen fries for 15-18 minutes at 400 degrees F, then add your seasonings, or garlic butter, right before serving.
