Notes
You can trim both sides of the potatoes and cut them lengthwise to make perfect french fries.
You can deep fry the potatoes instead of air frying.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Shake the basket half way through for even browning.
Choose high starch potatoes for making french fries or chips
Make sure it is dried nicely before frying the potatoes
You can store the potatoes in zip lock cover in freezer and fry them as and when required.
Soaking in cold water helps to remove excess starch content.
Baking time may vary between different models. Check and adjust the timing accordingly
Season the potatoes with spices of your choice. I simply used pepper powder. you can use red chilli powder, onion powder, garlic powder, mayo etc.
