There’s something so utterly and deeply satisfying about a crispy, golden french fry, and these super easy, hand-cut fries are no different. Don't skip the soaking step. This starch-removal phase helps the fries crisp up for an extra crunchy bite.

Instructions
  1. Fill a large mixing bowl with cool water two-third’s full.
  2. Rinse potatoes and pat dry.
  3. Slice potatoes into ¼-inch to ⅜-inch sticks and add to water, leaving to soak for at least an hour.
  4. After an hour, drain the water and rinse two more times with running water to remove excess starch from the fries, then pat dry with a paper towel.
  5. Pre-heat Air Fryer to 375°F.
  6. In a large mixing bowl (you can use the same as before), toss fries with oil, salt, and pepper.
  7. Place in an even layer in the fry basket (you may have to fry in batches depending on your air fryer) and set timer for 13 Minutes.
  8. After 13 minutes , toss fries and bump up the temp to 400°F, and cook for another 8 Minutes.
  9. Taste (careful, they’re hot) and toss with more salt if needed.
  10. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
