Skinny Fries
recipe from The Blue Jean Chef, Meredith Laurence
Ingredients:
- 2 to 3 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into ¼-inch sticks
- 2 to 3 teaspoons olive oil
- salt
Directions:
- Cut the potatoes into ¼-inch strips (a mandolin with a julienne blade is really helpful here)
- Rinse the potatoes with cold water several times an let them soak in cold water for at least 10 minutes or as long as overnight.
- Pre-heat the air fryer to 380ºF.
- Drain and dry the potato sticks really well, using a clean kitchen towel. Toss the fries with the oil in a bowl and then air fry in two batches at 380ºF for 15 minutes, shaking the basket a couple of times during the cooking time.
- Add the first batch of French fries back into the air fryer basket with the finishing batch and let everything warm through for a few minutes. As soon as the fries are done, season them with salt and transfer them to a plate. Serve with ketchup or your favorite dip. Makes 2 servings.

My husband and I did not get an air fryer for Christmas, but we did get a crisper tray. We’re looking forward to using it to make healthier oven-fried alternatives to some of our favorite dishes.
