1. Place your peeled potatoes into a medium sized bowl, cover it with cold water and soak in the fridge for 15 minutes.
2. After 15 minutes drain and remove all excess water as well as patting the potatoes dry.
3. Season the potatoes thoroughly, also add the olive oil and mix with your hands until your French Fries are well coated.
4. Place the French Fries in the Air Fryer and cook for 10 minutes at 160c. Give it a shake and cook for a further 5 minutes at 200c in order for them to become crispy. (I use the potato/chips function with rotation in the cage.)
5. Serve.

Sometimes I also add spiced potato rub too. Though a lot of it is down to personal preference. At Five Guys they season and shake last after cooking their fries. With our Air Fryer version we season before cooking. This adds the crunchy flavour and also because deep frying is somewhat different to air frying.
