Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them in 3/8-inch-thick strips.
- Soak the cut fries in salted water for 30 minutes.
- Spray the fries with olive oil (I used a repurposed I Can't Believe It's Not Butter sprayer).
- Air-fry for a few minutes at 300 degrees; then crank up the temperature to 400 and continue cooking for 20 minutes.
- Continue cooking until you have achieved the desired color and crispiness.

AUTHORLol, Liza, thank you... I'm so relieved!!!
Lol. Char, you can opt-out for the curry powder in the mixture. It will still taste delicious :)

Liza, thank you for your comment. I think your chicken sounds amazing, except for the curry powder. I think my husband and I tried curry powder some 30 years ago, and I even think the jar of spice is still sitting around... smile...and it occurs to me that you probably know how to make chicken schwarma, which is my favorite...
Hi Char, I used some simple marinade to marinate the chicken before putting them in the air fryer. I love chicken with some herbs and spices to make the chicken taste yummy. I marinated the chicken with salt, pepper, olive oil, turmeric powder, curry powder, thyme, and garlic powder. By the way, I used chicken wings and chicken drumettes.

Liza, thank you for your comment. The French fries were crispy and delicious! I will do them again sometime. Curious to learn what you did to prepare your chicken...
I have made french fries and fried chicken using the air fryer at home. What amazes me was the air fryer works great with just a few drops of oil. By the way, your french fries look crispy and delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
