@@RaechelSykes Not sure exactly. I would start by cutting the cooking time in half, and then add more time as needed, until they reach desired crispiness.
Oh my gosh. You are teaching an old timer (87) new tricks. I have never done much cooking, but our daughter gave us an air fryer and then I discovered you on TH-cam. My first attempt was "grilled" cheese sandwiches. Using your techniques it turned out great. Then I tried frozen French fries and they also came out really good. So thanks for your enthusiastic presentations.
Ever since I came across your channel, I have been using my air fryer like crazy! I love your recipes and all of the tips and tricks. Thank you so much for helping me making my air fryer not a "dust catcher" anymore...
I agree with Dorothy !! Having a new cooking appliance means you should learn about it, it's different enough to come to an expert like FF and get it done the right time and use the techniques. Thanks FF, I subscribed to the Best teacher /cook and I have a Cosori, too !!
The thing is just rinsing them until they are not cloudy removes a large amount of the starch, but resting them in cold water is how you produce the best fries. Soak in the clear water for 2-3 hours in the fridge. Then you need to pat dry them thoroughly before air frying...
I'm sure these are wonderful. Truly. But it seems like a ton of work. When I was a teen, I worked as a fast-food cook. We merely parboiled up tons of potatoes the day before then let them sit overnight in the fridge. The next day the skin scraped off like magic. We then used a french fry press to cut them into the same size and then we par-fried many quarts of them in hot oil. When an order came in for fries, we put an order of the partially-fried ones into the basket. Perfect. Of course, that requires a bit more planning but it was a restaurant. I am actually going to try to make them today using half my recipe (boil and cool) and then my air fryer for the final cooking process.
I just followed your instructions to make fries for the first time in my life for my 5 year old daughter. She said they were the best fries in the world! Thank you!
Cathy, these French Fries and your sauce are the best!!! My husband said he never had so perfect meal and was amazed to hear that no frying was involved. I used Russet potatoes and followed all your tips - they turned out just as they should be. Thank you very much for sharing and teaching us how to Air Fry! 👍😍🌹
Although I wish she wouldn't spend so much time at the beginning talking about the recipe rather than giving me the recipe this is a great primer on best practices for good air fryer fries I subscribed after this. Lady like to research and teach.
I'd buy that cookbook of yours if I could. Your videos have helped alot in learning how to cook vegetables I normally wouldn't eat because my parents ruined them for me. And absolutely love your kids inputs!🙃
I can confirm that this is the ultimate guide , thank you♥️ I just made some, but I bolied the potatoes a bit after the rinse and added paprika to the spice mix, they were PERFECT 😗👌🏻
This method works better than my usual method. I've always soaked my fries in the cold water, but never hot water. Love the hot water soak! Works much better. Cooking them for 5-10 minutes on 350 is like blanching fries in oil. Definitely my new favorite way to do fries. P. S. I don't use oil, but my fries hold seasoning without. Even healthier and I don't use oil for anything anymore.
These were excellent. I didn’t notice much starch in the water after the 10 minute hot soak. Thanks for the finger-width tip; it helped a lot!! I opted against dumping the fries out after they had cooked a bit and henceforth after because my AF doesn’t have a basket, just a rack. The rack falls out with the fries, and when hot, it’s a bit of a problem! I did use tongs to move things around thoroughly every 5 minutes. I tried some Lawry’s Seasoned Salt and it was good, and added ketchup as I didn’t feel like doing anymore work and it was delicious enough! Found your channel a few days ago and have been going nuts with the AF!!
Thank you so much for this Cathy. I have soaked mine in cold water and dried, but never did the hot water. I will definitely do this next time. Hubby and I love fresh homemade fries in the air fryer, so much healthier. Your daughter is darling... Take care, and hugs. Claudia
I NEVER comment on videos but I have to share that I followed the directions to a T and my fries were amazing. I couldn't believe how delicious they were. Thank you for creating the best way to make air fryer French fries!
I just made these yesterday. I followed everything you said. They turned out amazing. My family and I really enjoyed them! I will definitely make them again!! Thank you.
I made the fries according to your directions- they were delicious! Crispy on the outside, still soft on the inside, evenly cooked, not greasy or oily. A little bit of work, but worth it!
Hi, first of all thanks and nice done! What I do and getting super crisp on the outside and super soft on the inside, is steam the potatoes for 15 minutes and than on max temp for 12 to 15 minutes depending on thickness
Oh my gosh these taste really good thank you for teaching me because I have such a rude family they never wanna teach me anything and you being so kind and humble to teach us really is appreciated!
Hi Cathy, the chips looked lovely and so did your dip. I do mine with a crinkle cutter and I cut them a bit thicker. I use garlic flavoured olive oil and steak seasoning. With having the cosori dual blaze, the thicker chip works better. I do them at 180 degrees for about 23 mins and they turn out perfect.
just found your site and it is amazing. Your instructions/tips/demonstrations are among the best I've seen anywhere on line. Great job! listing the time stamp for different aspects is brilliant and great for going back and rechecking something. Thank you. I am looking forward to Air Fryer adventures. (Have already been seduced by the IP and don't know how I managed before I had one of those!!)
After I watched lots of videos about air fryers which you have uploaded, I just bought (online) Black+Decker 4L Digital Air Fryer, Model no:AIRF-OGB400-B5, it's around $155 and hope it will give a better output. if you can find a same model, you can try it too and share the experience. I learned a lot about air fryers because of this channel, thank you very much Fabulessly Frugal
Guess what!!! My mom got an air fryer as a gift for her birthday 🥳🤗! I sent her the link to your channel 😊! I plan to get mine for myself for Mother’s Day 🙏🏿! Can’t wait to try this! And the fry sauce looks amazing 🤤! Thanks for sharing ❤️!
I have a tristar basket and two trays difficult to clean so my new Corsori will arrive today gone for the wifi model Always watch your vidios you give good tips and advice
Just brought home an air fryer and found your channel. First cook, 3 red potatoes (what I had) cut and steamed for 15 minutes, dried, then tossed (shake & bake style) with oil/salt/garlic/basil/paprika and into the fryer at 400F for 8 min, toss then 8 min more. Result pretty good, but I think could be better. Maybe over steamed and under fried just a touch, but not a bad breaking in. Wings on deck in a couple hours. New tool, but the learning curve looks to be steep (aka fast).
I do love homemade fries. The way I have made them for years is a two step frying method like you did. First to cook them through and second, at a higher temperature, cooking them to they are crisp. The only oil to use, ir fat, is rendered duck fat. It's as good as frying things in bacon fat. So I when I get an air fryer I will try it your way but with duck fat. There is a restaurant in my area that makes avocado fries. They first cut them into strips and bread them in a mix of quinoa and other seeds and then fry them. The outside is crispy and the inside are soft. The are seved with a chipotle mayonnaise and are very addictive! I will experiment and get back to you.
Hey there! I actually made a keto version of avocado fries in this video (with pork rinds though). I didn't love the saltiness of the pork rinds, but they were good otherwise! I'd love to hear what you do on the outside! th-cam.com/video/58V0nkaYmfI/w-d-xo.html
Hello ! Just discovered your channel. I think your channel will be very helpful to me since I'm a new airfryer user. My airfryer hasn't arrived yet, but soon coming. Look forward to seeing more from you. Thanks from California. 🌅
Welcome! YES you have come to the right place! I just finished filming a video with 4 recipes that are PERFECT for new air fryer owners! Watch for that this coming Saturday! So glad you're here!
Ty for shearing. I did the same method of pre cooking than upping heat but did not do the second coat of oil. My'n weren't great but definitely better than the friy pre set. Will have to try the second coating next.
AMAZING! Your video helped my brother and I make fries on our first time using our new air fryer. I am so grateful that you made this video. Thank you so much!!!
Hi Cathy! This was my first recipe from you. YUMMY and MUCH LIGHTER calorie-wise. THANKS! I used my purple vegetable wedger from Amazon to cut the spuds, my new avocado oil sprayer then arranged them in my air fryer. YUMMY + YAY! I love roasted almonds but I must limit sodium. Unfortunately, unsalted almonds cost 5X the price. Air fryer to the rescue! I put two cups of salted almonds in a colander, swish the almonds in some clean sink water, then toss them into the air fryer for 4 minutes, shaking at 2 minutes. Crunchy, yummy and MUCH LESS sodium! Recipe inspired by watching your videos! 👍😍💖😍👍 😷STAY😷SAFE😷 👁
Hey hey, Gary! Way to go!! I love that you figured out a way to solve a problem, using your air fryer! Brilliant idea! Take care and let me know what your next concoction is! I'm thinking I need to do a video highlighting cool recipes my viewers are creating!
Kathy, hello from Australia. Great tips that work well, thanks. (Why do you wear your watch whilst preparing the food?) Try using a large zip-lock bag to add oil and spices (that saves cleaning up time) I use Canola Oil spray and either Italian mixed spice, or veggie spices, into the bag for coating! Shaking Air Fryer pan every five minutes and removing french fries (we call then chips) when the color is right. My Air Fryer is over 5 years old and is used many times in the week. Bye....John Murray
Hi John! I wear my watch pretty much all the time actually, and don't really think abt it for the videos. Do you find it distracting? And thank you for the tip! What is your favorite thing to cook in your air fryer?
@@empoweredcooks I am not distracted by the watch. Roast Potatoes are my favorite. (Well, I am Irish and have been in Australia 40 years!) Peel and pre-cook by boiling. Have them about golf ball size. Leave the skin on at times. Sometimes, I use whole carrots as well. Place in Air Fryer with Canola Spray and the magic happens!
Tyvm for those tips, my first attempt was a so so experience, I will get better at it and eventually impress my friends and family! Amazing channel, love your videos and my red Cosori!
I've tried a few online methods and with okay to poor results. Your method is worth a try. Seems like a lot of work for fries though. I use my method which is peel, cut (starfrit pototo chipper), wash, dry, oil and then cook for 12 min at 400 and flip after 7 min. I eat in the dark while watching a movie so I get by. Once again I will try your method. You did a great job
Terrific video, Cathy. Very concise and clear. My first effort turns out brilliantly thanks to you. But a question. Does your technique work equally well with sweet potatoes and yams?
This is a great receipt that has become pretty-much my standard. It is quite important to cut uniformly, soak and dry the fries. After 10 minutes in my Cosori Air Fryer, I add them back to the bowl and sprinkle in the seasonings, whatever I am in the mood for. One trick that I do sometimes because I read that McDonald's soaks its fries in beef stock--and I cannot be bothered to do that--is to add a dash of powdered beef bouillon to the seasoning. After that, I put them back in the basket, turn up the heat, check them every five minutes and toss them in the basket without returning them to the bowl. Doing it this way, they turn out better than most restaurant fries: They are not as good as the best, but they are better than most. One way that I have been eating them recently is to immediately drizzle Okonomiyaki sauce and Kewpie Mayonnaise on them whilst hot and, then, sprinkle on some Japanese Furikake Seasoning. Also, with the right seasonings, they are delicious even without any extra sauce.
This is exactly how I prep chips for a regular oven, so this reassuring that the air fryer is going to work out for me. Just bought the Instant Vortex Plus 5.7litre. 😊
We got the same air fryer a few days ago. I don't know why I never bought one before. It makes great chicken. And it's nice to make frozen pre-made onion rings and control portions and have less greasy foods that taste just as good. Next I'll make mini pizzas from scratch and see how that works out. You make great videos.
I do most of what you mention except soaking in hot water and flipping the fries but that's because I have an Actifry that has a stirring paddle. Going to try the hot water soaking to see if that improves the fries.
I was thinking about getting an air fryer especially for French fries or sweet potatoes fries but we’re 5 adults so seeing this video makes me realize that an air fryer definitely isn’t for me ! Thanks for the video
I will definitely be trying your method. I only rinse mine once but now I will do it several times. Also, I have one of those things that cuts ripples. Makes the fries really pretty! :)
I love the idea of the second toss in olive oil and is probably what I was missing. I like the oven fried part when baking them is the oild coatingvs air fried. when I air fried the first time it was dry and hollow.I will definitely trying this.
I decided to use my AF for french fries tonight and thought... I should see if fabulessly frugal chick has a video. These turned out great. The preset button on my AF says to cook at 400 for 18 mins. They were so bad. Thankful I found this video. Turned out great!
This cooking time is insane. I cut my fries, rinse them good and let them soak for a couple minutes. Spray them with some extra virgin olive oil, cook them and when done cooking, season them lightly and enjoy. I could make a couple separate batches in these time frames, although I do evenly distribute them in my Ninja Air Frier different then they kind in this video. You could go all out and cook a medium pizza in mine. I don't make a ton of fries since it is just me and I don't have a huge stomach. 1 potato a good size and I am all set. I like your garlic and salt mix at the end, but the other, sort of ruins the healthy side although seems tasty with that dip you make.

love the crinkle cutter! Love this video! make air fryer fries now1
Great video! So you soak the potatoes in hot water. Many people soak in cold water for 30 mins +. I guess either way works to remove excess starch. 👍
That is correct
Just got an air fryer and chips are amazing. Thanks.
Great to hear!
@@empoweredcooks Thank you for all the start off tips. Very useful indeed.
This worked really well for me, might try this with sweet potatoes too
Tyvm for those tips, my first attempt was a so so experience, I will get better at it and eventually impress my friends and family! Amazing channel, love your videos and my red Cosori!
You got this!
I've tried a few online methods and with okay to poor results. Your method is worth a try. Seems like a lot of work for fries though. I use my method which is peel, cut (starfrit pototo chipper), wash, dry, oil and then cook for 12 min at 400 and flip after 7 min. I eat in the dark while watching a movie so I get by. Once again I will try your method. You did a great job
This is a great recipe / procedure. The fry sauce is awesome. Thank you very much.
Well I must say these were the nicest chips I've had. So nice I'm making them again tomorrow
@dankbuds I am British. What Americans call fries we call chips. Educate yourself
@dankbuds and what Americans call chips the British call crisps
I just made french fries using my air fryer. They turned out perfectly!
Yay! I'm so glad Karla! ❤
Terrific video, Cathy. Very concise and clear. My first effort turns out brilliantly thanks to you. But a question. Does your technique work equally well with sweet potatoes and yams?
this channel is the reason im eating good meals daily. Thanks!
Happy to hear that!
Another great tip is right at the end add a few more minutes at a slightly higher temp to really brown and crisp em but only on the outside. Mmm.
This is a great receipt that has become pretty-much my standard. It is quite important to cut uniformly, soak and dry the fries. After 10 minutes in my Cosori Air Fryer, I add them back to the bowl and sprinkle in the seasonings, whatever I am in the mood for. One trick that I do sometimes because I read that McDonald's soaks its fries in beef stock--and I cannot be bothered to do that--is to add a dash of powdered beef bouillon to the seasoning. After that, I put them back in the basket, turn up the heat, check them every five minutes and toss them in the basket without returning them to the bowl. Doing it this way, they turn out better than most restaurant fries: They are not as good as the best, but they are better than most. One way that I have been eating them recently is to immediately drizzle Okonomiyaki sauce and Kewpie Mayonnaise on them whilst hot and, then, sprinkle on some Japanese Furikake Seasoning. Also, with the right seasonings, they are delicious even without any extra sauce.
Those are some great pro tips, Ron! Thank you for sharing! I have a list of things I want to try with these fries... adding this one to it! Thank you!
Is the Beef bouillon is the same as Beef flavor broth?? I can't find something called Bouillon in my country.
@@Accomplish305 yep!
@@Accomplish305 beef bullion is a powder
Omg I literally just purchased this same air fryer, so excited to see your channel. A few fan.
Hi Donna! You're going to love this air fryer!
@@empoweredcooks thanks. I am loving it. I meant a new fan not few 🤦🏾♀️🙈
This is exactly how I prep chips for a regular oven, so this reassuring that the air fryer is going to work out for me. Just bought the Instant Vortex Plus 5.7litre. 😊
Love your videos! Kathy, do you think this recipe would work as well by using spraying the fries with cooking spray instead of tossing in so much oil?
Yes, I think it is worth a try!
I can't imagine how many experiments for air-fried french fries you did to come up with some specifics!!! :O Thank you so much :)
Haha you don't want to know!! Thanks for watching!
We got the same air fryer a few days ago. I don't know why I never bought one before. It makes great chicken. And it's nice to make frozen pre-made onion rings and control portions and have less greasy foods that taste just as good. Next I'll make mini pizzas from scratch and see how that works out. You make great videos.
Yay! YES it's so great! Enjoy!
I do most of what you mention except soaking in hot water and flipping the fries but that's because I have an Actifry that has a stirring paddle. Going to try the hot water soaking to see if that improves the fries.
I'm curious to know if it changes anything for you. Let me know!
@@empoweredcooks I finally tried this. Yes I think hot water soaking speeds up the cooking process. Takes less time to cook in the air fryer.
@@CXJ1898 glad it worked well for you!
My son got me a frie cutter. Yet his Air fryer didn't come with direction book, just how to maintain so thank you so much.! ❤
You are so welcome!
Making fries right now with skin on an scrubbed clean. Never heard of that sauce but will give it a try. Awesome YT channel!!
Enjoy!!! Let me know how you like the fry sauce!
I was thinking about getting an air fryer especially for French fries or sweet potatoes fries but we’re 5 adults so seeing this video makes me realize that an air fryer definitely isn’t for me ! Thanks for the video
The editing is on point! Can’t wait to try these!
Well thank you!
Great tips thanks. Love seeing your little kids too! Can’t quite believe you are old enough to have 7!
I will definitely be trying your method. I only rinse mine once but now I will do it several times. Also, I have one of those things that cuts ripples. Makes the fries really pretty! :)
Oh so fun! I bet my kids would love it if I used a tool like that! :)
@@empoweredcooks I checked. It's called a crinkle cut knife. Many different prices but I got the most basic one pretty cheap.
@@clarepastore7787 thank you!
My favorite fry sauce is mayonnaise and harissa paste. So good!
Sounds great!
the 5 min interval tossing/oiling is new to me!
are you adding oil with each bowl toss?
Thanks Cathy for another great tutorial.
You are so welcome!
Omg I'm about to make this thank you so much for the recipe ❤
I love the idea of the second toss in olive oil and is probably what I was missing. I like the oven fried part when baking them is the oild coatingvs air fried. when I air fried the first time it was dry and hollow.I will definitely trying this.
Ok ty
We use a mandoline to slice our fries for consistency. For steak cut fries I hand slice. Thanks for your tips. 🙂
I tried your recipe last night. Delicious!
Glad you liked it!!
Followed this down to a tee. Not going back to frozen fries EVER. THANK YOU FOR THIS! 😍
WOO HOO! Glad you enjoyed!
Plus Frozen are inconvenient to keep on hand. You never have them when you need them.
*THANK YOU.. MAKING THEM TODAY.. THEY LL SHOW ON FRIDAY. YUMM*
Oh my gosh! I loved it. 100% recommend
The best fry video ever. No other video tells u to cook then for a few minutes then take them out and season
Very nice. My go to seasoning is Lawry's Seasoned Salt if not using a dip. Sea salt with my favorite dip which is Bob's Bleu Cheese salad dressing
Oh that sounds yum! I'll have to try that soon!
Nice cooking👨🍳 yummy😋😋😋 I love from India 🇮🇳
I decided to use my AF for french fries tonight and thought... I should see if fabulessly frugal chick has a video. These turned out great. The preset button on my AF says to cook at 400 for 18 mins. They were so bad. Thankful I found this video. Turned out great!
Yay! And so glad to be your fabulessly frugal chick! lol 😆
I thought I knew how to handle potatoes! But you explained it the best way anyone can
Awesome 🇨🇦👍 all your receipes are amazing yammi very simple way explained
Glad you like them!
I love these video's because I have a Cosori air fryer 😁💫
Love the Cosori!
This cooking time is insane. I cut my fries, rinse them good and let them soak for a couple minutes. Spray them with some extra virgin olive oil, cook them and when done cooking, season them lightly and enjoy. I could make a couple separate batches in these time frames, although I do evenly distribute them in my Ninja Air Frier different then they kind in this video. You could go all out and cook a medium pizza in mine.
I don't make a ton of fries since it is just me and I don't have a huge stomach. 1 potato a good size and I am all set. I like your garlic and salt mix at the end, but the other, sort of ruins the healthy side although seems tasty with that dip you make.
You should make a hard cover 'Air Fryer Bible', then sign it and I'll be the first to buy it and use every day!!
😂😂😂 thank you! I will make a cookbook instead!
