Instructions

1
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes well. You can leave the skin on or peel them.
2
Using a crinkle cutter or a mandoline with a crinkle blade, slice the potatoes very thinly.
3
Place the potato slices in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for a few minutes to remove excess starch.
4
Drain the water and lay the potato slices in a single layer on paper towels. Pat them completely dry on both sides.
5
Transfer the dry potato slices to a clean bowl. Drizzle with avocado oil, then sprinkle with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper.
6
Toss with your hands until the potato slices are evenly coated.
7
Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single, non-crowded layer on your air fryer tray or basket. You may need to cook in batches.
8
Air fry until beautifully golden and crispy. The exact time and temperature will vary by machine.
9
Remove from the air fryer, garnish with fresh chives, and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Pat potatoes dry after washing to remove surface moisture, which prevents the coating from sticking and reduces crispness.
Toss potatoes with cornstarch and oil evenly in a bowl before air frying to ensure uniform coating on all ridges.
Air fry at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until edges are golden brown and centers are tender.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; arrange fries in a single layer for even heat circulation and maximum crispness.

Substitutions

Avocado oil → coconut oil or olive oil (neutral flavor oils work best)
Cornstarch → potato starch (creates similar crispness; use 1:1 ratio)
Fresh chives → green onions or parsley (optional garnish only)

Storage & make-ahead

Store cooled ripple fries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes to restore crispness.
