Ingredients:

2 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/8-by-3/8-inch (1-by-1-cm) batons
1 Tbs. canola oil
Garlic herb or chili French fry seasoning, to taste

Directions:

Put the potatoes in a bowl, add water to cover and let soak for 30 minutes.

Preheat a Philips air fryer to 360°F (182°C).

Drain the potatoes and rinse well. Place on a towel-lined baking sheet and pat dry, removing as much moisture as possible. Transfer to a bowl, add the oil and toss to coat.

Place half of the potatoes in the fry basket and insert into the air fryer. Cook for 5 minutes, then increase the temperature to 390°F (199°C). Pull out the basket and, using tongs, toss and stir the potatoes. Return the basket to the fryer. Continue cooking until the potatoes are cooked through and golden brown on the outside, about 15 minutes more, opening the basket 2 or 3 times during cooking to toss and stir them. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, sprinkle with French fry seasoning and toss to coat evenly. Return the fryer temperature to 360°F (182°C) and repeat to cook the remaining potatoes. Serve immediately. Serves 4.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Juggler from Slight tweak suggestion Since frying potatoes benefit from a rest in between double cooking steps, why not cook both batches at 360 degrees, then turn up the heat to 390 and cook the second time in batches at 390? It would take less time time and may produce a nicer crust.

Rated 5 out of 5 by craftypuzzler from Yum! The first time we did this recipe, we used russet potatoes, and the fries were so delicious. We used 4 potatoes for our family, so did them between 2 batches and just kept the first batch on warm in the oven until the second batch was done. We will definitely make these again, and thank you for the recipe! We did the recipe a second time for sweet potato fries, but they didn't turn out as well. They became too dark (almost burning) before crisping, so we had to pull them out. If anyone from the WS test kitchen has any suggestions for modifying the recipe for sweet potato fries, please share? Thank you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by YaddaYadda from French Fry Experiment I made this recipe for the first time. I just purchased the extra large-sized Phillips Air Fryer. The recipe as listed here varies from the French fry recipe Phillips has listed in their booklet, so I took the best aspects of both. I cut up 2 large Russet potatoes per the instructions. Soaked for 30 minutes and dried with paper towels. I used 1 Tbs. vegetable oil and tossed to coat. I cooked the whole batch at once at 360 (preheated) for a total of 25 minutes. I think I didn't have to split the batch up as directed in the W-S recipe because of the larger capacity fryer. If using the smaller version of the appliance, may need to cook in batches. I opened the basket and tossed at 5 minute intervals. The fries came out crisp and browned with zero grease remaining. My husband loved the fries and clean-up is super easy. Very pleased with the recipe for the first try and an untested appliance.
