By using the air fryer to make these curly fries, I don’t have to worry about all that oil and I still get crispy fries every single time! Trust me - these fries are seriously addictive, especially when tossed in my favorite spicy Cajun seasoning. They might just be more popular than whatever your main entree is… Soak. Soak the sliced potatoes in water for 30 minutes. Season the potatoes. Drain the water and dry off the potatoes. Toss them with oil and seasonings. Air fry the fries. Preheat your air fryer to 390°F and add half of the potatoes to the basket. Cook for 10-15 minutes total, stirring the basket a few times during cooking, until they are to your preferred crispness. Repeat this process until all fries are cooked.
