Wash and peel the potatoes. You can also leave on the skin of the potatoes, but we prefer the potatoes peeled.
Cut them into thin, even strips, about ¼ inch thick for classic fries. Try to keep the sizes uniform for even cooking.
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of hot tap water and let them soak for 30 minutes. Drain and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, toss 1/2 of the fries with a small amount of extra-virgin olive oil; I used 1 teaspoon per batch. You can also spray them lightly with cooking spray. Add salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like. Toss until the fries are well coated.
Place the fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer (do not overcrowd). This is why I do them in 2 batches, which allows for better airflow and crisping.
Cook for 15 minutes at 380 degrees. Tossing 1/2 way through.
If you want them a little extra cripsy (our preference). Toss the fries in the basket, and cook them another 5 minutes at 400 degrees.
Remove the fries from the air fryer and season with additional salt if needed. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
