Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Air-fry curly fries at 400°F for 15–18 minutes until golden and crispy; don't skip this step or use pre-cooked fries.
Finely chop all vegetables to similar size for even distribution and better texture integration throughout the salad.
Toss the warm curly fries with dressing immediately after cooking while they're still slightly warm for better flavor absorption.
Use fresh dill and parsley rather than dried for brighter, more pronounced herby flavor that defines this dish.

Substitutions

All-purpose seasoning granules → ranch seasoning mix or herb blend (1 packet, adjust to taste)
Dill pickles → sweet pickle relish or bread-and-butter pickles (reduces tanginess slightly)
Spring onions → chives or white parts of green onions (milder onion flavor)
Fresh parsley → fresh chives or tarragon (maintain herbaceous quality)

Storage & make-ahead

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; curly fries will soften over time. Refresh with additional crispy fries before serving if desired.

Common Questions

How do you keep curly fries crispy in potato salad?
