French Fries

Prep Time:10 minutes
Cook Time:20 minutes
Additional batch(if needed):20 minutes
Total Time:30 minutes

Ingredients  
♦ 21/2 pound each,1 pound total large potatoes peeled and cut lengthwise;
♦ 1tbsp olive oil;
♦ Salt and pepper to taste;
♦ Seasoning salt to taste optional

Instructions
Step1
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl with cold water.
Step2
Allow the potatoes to soak in the water for at least 30 minutes, preferably an hour.
Step3
Drain the water from the bowl. Dry the fries completely with paper towels.
Step4
Coat the fries with olive oil. You can toss them in a large bowl or spread the fries onto a flat surface and coat them. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and optional seasoning salt.
Step5
Add half of the fries to the Air Fryer basket. Adjust the temperature to 190℃ and cook for 15-20 minutes. Set a timer for 10 minutes and stop and shake the basket at the 10-minute mark(once).
Step6
Use your judgment. If the fries need to be crisper, allow cooking for additional time. If the fries look crisp prior to 15 minutes, remove them. I cooked both of my batches for almost 20 minutes. Also, use your judgment to determine if the fries will need to be cooked in batches. This will vary based on the size of your air fryer. You do not want to overfill the basket.
Step7 
When the first half finishes, cook the remaining half(if necessary).
Step8
Cool before serving.
