Spraying just a little oil on your air fryer french fries is all it takes to get crispy french fries in about 15 minutes.

Do you love french fries?

Try making delicious homemade french fries in the air fryer! They are super easy to put together and taste so YUMMY. I added Parmesan cheese and garlic to these fries, but you can serve them with salt and pepper or any other seasonings you prefer!


Soak the potatoes to soften them before placing them in the air fryer.

Fries were one of the first ideas I tried making in the air fryer, and they did not disappoint. Making easy side dishes like fries and potatoes are one of my favorite uses for the air fryer. They require very little oil and come out of the basket with AMAZING taste and texture!


Tossed with Parmesan cheese and herbs, these air fryer french fries look as good as they taste.

Additional Notes

Recipe adapted from PowerAirFryer.com

Serve your french fries with ketchup, fry sauce, or ranch dressing.

These air fryer fries were gone in just a few minutes!

They are that GOOD.

Also worth noting, if you don’t want to cut up fresh potatoes, cook frozen fries in your air fryer! The result is just as YUM – and super simple.

    What brand and model of air fryer does everyone recommend for a family of 4? Thanks!!

    • Nina

      Try a Philips large or extra large size fryer. You can always buy a cheaper one nowadays but I love the Philips.

    I’ve made air fryer fries before. They come out like oven fried. They will NOT taste list deep fried fries from McDonalds. They are still good and tasty but oven fry tasty.

  4. Sisi

    I have the nuwave air oven and I still haven’t figured out why my fries are not coming out crispy! I use frozen ones. Anyone had a success in an air oven?

    • Julianne

      I have the nuwave and I do 400 for aboit 8min turning half way that’s for frozen and enough for one person. So depending on how many your making just increase the time mine always come put perfectlu golden and tender on the inside. Just before there done taste Good luck

  6. Nina

    Definitely trying this! Love my air fryer!

  7. Vickie

    Lol..someone is a David fan.

  8. Dan

    Nice! But you don’t soak the potatoes to make them tender, you soak them to remove the starch so they come out crispier instead of soggy.

  9. Therese Burch

    I just bought a new oven and it has an air fryer built in!!! It’s big and I’m scared to death of it. Do I cook the same way as the small air fryers do?

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Oh wow! Honestly I would have no clue, maybe google some recipe times for your oven. That sounds super neat!
