Instant Pot Air Fryer French Fries

Step 1

Scrub potatoes and then slice into strips. You can peel the potatoes if you like.

Step 2

Soak potatoes in fresh water for 15 minutes. Then drain water and pat dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

Add the oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder in the sliced potatoes in a bowl. Toss to coat

Step 4

Arrange the seasoned potato slices on the bottom of your air fryer basket, in a single layer, if possible. The more separated the potatoes, the crispier they will be. If needed, you can also cook the fries in batches. This will depend on the size of your air fryer.

Step 5

Cook the fries at 375ºF for 10-15 minutes. Toss the fries half way through. If the fries need to be crisper, allow to cook for additional time.

Step 6

Place the trivet and the cooking basket with the sliced potato inside the pressure cooker inner stainless steel pot. Try to place the fries in a single layer. If needed, you can also cook the fries in batches.

Step 7

Now place the crisplid on top of the inner pot using the handle on the crisplid. Plug the crisplid and lower the handle. (Make sure the pressure cooker is unplugged)

Step 8

Set to 375°F (190°C) and cook potatoes for 10 minutes. Flip fries and continue cooking until crisp, about 10 minutes more. If you like the fries to be crispier, then toss and add 5 more minutes.

Step 9

Remove the french fries into a serving plate and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
