Instructions

• Preheat the air fryer to 380°F.
• Place the 6 medium potatoes (or 4 large potatoes) — scrubbed and cut into 1/4-inch sticks — in a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Toss until the fries are evenly coated.
• Arrange a single layer of fries in the air fryer basket, leaving space between pieces so air can circulate. Work in batches as needed to avoid overcrowding.
• Air fry the first batch at 380°F for 15–18 minutes, shaking the basket or turning the fries once about halfway through cooking to promote even browning.
• Remove the cooked fries to a plate or baking sheet and repeat steps 3–4 with the remaining fries.
• When all batches are cooked, return all fries to the air fryer basket in a single layer (or as close to a single layer as possible) and air fry for an additional 2–3 minutes at 380°F to reheat and crisp them.
• Remove the fries from the air fryer and serve immediately.
