These air fryer French fries were a perfect little side dish for our fajitas last night. They tasted incredible. Instead of deep-frying them in oil, these only need a few sprays of fry light oil and cooked in the air fryer in just 20 minutes.
These French fries come out deliciously crispy and infused with the flavour of the red onion and garlic. They are a simple way to dress up any meal and add in a side dish which packs flavour and crunch. The addition of fresh rosemary not only enhances the aroma but also adds a touch of elegance to this humble dish.
Potatoes are the real star of this recipe, and they bring more to the table than just their versatility and taste. They are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, and potassium. Potatoes also provide dietary fibre, which is essential for digestive health, and are rich in antioxidants that help neutralise harmful free radicals in the body. Despite their carbohydrate content, when prepared healthily, potatoes can be a valuable part of a balanced diet.

Ingredients for air fryer French fries
3 medium potatoes, thinly sliced (you can peel them first if you prefer the skins off)
1 red onion, peeled and sliced
3 cloves of garlic, peeled
Vegetable oil spray
Fresh rosemary
Method
I sliced my potatoes quite thin keeping the skins on and soaked for about an hour in cold water to remove the starch. Then I peeled the red onion and garlic and roughly sliced the onion.
I drained the potatoes the patted dry with kitchen roll. Next I popped the potatoes in to the air fryer and spayed with a little vegetable oil. I cooked them on 200c for 10 minutes.
I then gave the fries a good a shake and added the red onions and garlic. Then I air fried for a further 10 minutes.
I served my air fryer French fries with a few sprigs of rosemary as a tasty side dish.
