HEALTHY AIR FRYER FRENCH FRIES
If you’re like most people, you’ve probably searched for a way to enjoy French fries without all the guilt? I’ve got good news for you! This air fryer version has changed my mind about fries, and I can’t wait to share it with you. My husband started making these a few weeks ago, and already made them numerous times. We’ve served them with burgers, two different times to our family, and everyone LOVES them. These crispy-on-the-outside, tender on-the-inside fries only use some olive oil, and our favorite spices. They may be the best tasting fries you’ll ever have! And the best part is that they’re a much healthier option, compared to the typical deep-fried versions.
RECIPE FOR AIR FRYER FRIES
Start by slicing 3-4 medium potatoes into thin 1/4″ strips. Soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes to rinse off all the starch. This step will also make them crispier. Drain and pat them completely dry. Mix the dry spices together in a bowl and add the olive oil. Toss the potato slices with the oil and spice mixture. Then pop them in the air fryer at 380 degrees for 18 minutes. That’s seriously all you do!
NOTE – these are the spices we love, but of course you could substitute your own.
THE BLEND by KINDER – 2 T.
GARLIC AND HERB by KINDER – 2 T.
ONION POWDER – 2 t.
ITALIAN SEASONING – 2 t.
SMOKED PAPRIKA – 2 t.
OLIVE OIL – 4 T.
Now…. let’s talk about the fry sauce! After all, what’s a batch of crispy fries without a delicious dip? We make ours with a simple mix of mayo, ketchup, and some smoked paprika for a little extra flavor. It’s creamy, tangy, and the EXTRA to the fries!!! This is where most of the calories sneak in. However, you can easily lighten it up by using low-fat mayo or even a Greek yogurt base. Make it your own and enjoy every bite!
