Scrub and clean potatoes then slice into 1/4 inch slices. Rinse with cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
Place into a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with seasoned salt and granulated garlic. Toss to fully coat.
Arrange in the basket of an air fryer. If the basket is too full cook in 2 batches. (Keep warm on a sheet pan in a 200°F oven between batches.)
Cook at 375°F for 10 minutes, then shake the basket or flip. Spray with cooking spray, if needed. Continue to cook for another 8-10 minutes until crisp and golden.
Sprinkle with more seasoned salt to taste then serve immediately with ketchup, comeback sauce or any of your favorite sauces for dipping.
Optional Garlic and Parmesan Topping – Saute 4 cloves of garlic in one teaspoon of butter or olive oil over medium heat. Transfer the french fries to a platter, then sprinkle the garlic over the fries along with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and parsley.

How to Make the Best Air Fryer French Fries Recipe

Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Air Fryer French Fries: Russet Potatoes, olive oil, seasoned salt or Cajun seasoning, granulated garlic and chopped parsley. You’ll also need fresh garlic and grated Parmesan cheese for the optional topping.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: Air fryer, sharp knife and cutting board, medium bowl, measuring spoons.
I use olive oil in this recipe but you could also use vegetable oil or canola oil.
Different varieties of potatoes have different amounts of starch content. Russet potatoes will give you the best result for this particular recipe.
You can also lighten these french fries up further by using an oil mister or cooking spray in place of olive oil.
Rinsing the potatoes after cutting will remove any starch on the surface. Doing so will result in a crispier french fry.
Depending on the style of air fryer you have the cooking time may vary slightly. Know your appliance and made any adjustments as needed.
You can finish these fries with sauteed minced garlic and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired. This is completely optional but adds another dimension to the flavor. Simply saute minced garlic in a small amount of butter then sprinkle on top of the french fries and top with grated Parmesan cheese after frying.
Store Air Fryer French Fries chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F just until crispy and heated thru.
