These air fryer french fries are made from scratch and oh so crispy! If you've been looking for the best homemade air fryer french fries recipe, this is it!
Wash the potatoes very well and keep the skin on. Use a sharp knife to cut the potatoes into thin sticks, about ¼-inch in thickness. Pat them dry with paper towels to soak up any moisture.
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl along with the olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
Transfer the potatoes to the air fryer and arrange in a single layer. You may need to cook in two batches. Cook until crispy with golden brown edges, shaking the basket halfway through, 15-18 minutes total.
Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. To reheat, place back into a preheated 380ºF air fryer and heat for about 5 minutes or until just crisp.
