Making Air Fryer Steak Fries From Scratch

There is nothing better than making homemade air fryer steak fries! I have made them many times and wanted to share the directions with you.

  1. Wash and dry 4 to 5 Russet potatoes, then peel them.
  2. Cut them into 1/2-inch wedges.
  3. Soak them for about 20 to 30 minutes, which helps to remove the starch from the potatoes, which helps them crisp up!

4. After soaking your potatoes, drain the water, and use a paper towel to dry the potatoes. Add them to a small bowl, coat them with olive oil, and add your seasonings.

5. Set them into the air fryer basket, set the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, frequently shaking during the cooking process.

6 Depending on how thick cooking steak fries are, you may need to increase the cooking time. Remember to check your air fryer steak fries frequently during the cooking process.
