HOW TO MAKE FRENCH FRIES AT HOME RECIPES

Steps:

• Put potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight, stored in the refrigerator), then drain and pat very dry.
• Heat the air fryer to 350 degrees, if preheating is necessary. Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels.
• In a dry bowl, toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Transfer to air fryer and fry at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, tossing halfway. Transfer the potatoes to the baking sheet, spreading them in an even layer, and let cool to room temperature, at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours. (This step is optional; it gives the fries a slightly crispier exterior. If you want to skip it, keep the potatoes in the fryer and proceed to the next step.)
• Turn the air fryer heat up to 400 degrees. Arrange potatoes in the fryer if you’ve taken them out, and drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon oil. Cook for until golden and crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes, tossing or stirring halfway through. Transfer immediately to a serving platter and sprinkle with more salt.
• While the fries are cooking, make the sauce: In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard and paprika. Serve alongside the fries for dipping.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. 2. Slice potatoes long ways and then cut into fry-shaped pieces.  3. Place potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 20 minutes.  4. Drain and pat fries dry.  5. Return to the bowl and toss with the oil until evenly coated. Season with salt. 6. Spread out on baking sheets so the fries are in a single layer. You might need two sheets to get them spaced out.  7. Place in the oven and bake 25-30 minutes, turning after 15 minutes. 8. Adjust seasoning and serve hot!
