The air fryer is a powerful appliance. It is perfect for making French fries. We brush the prepared potato strips with oil and put them directly into the air fryer. We set the temperature to 100 degrees and adjust the time to about ten minutes. The fried potato strips will be crispy. We can sprinkle some seasoning on top and enjoy them directly.
