    Title: Air-Fryer French Fries
    Categories: Potatoes, Dairy
    Yield: 2 servings

    1 lg (8 oz) russet potato; in
    - 1/4" sticks
    1 1/2 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
    1 ts Salt; more as needed
    1/4 c Mayonnaise
    2 tb Sour cream
    1 tb Dijon mustard
    1/4 ts Smoked paprika

    Put potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water.
    Soak for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight, stored
    in the refrigerator), then drain and pat very dry.

    Set the air fryer @ 350ºF/175ºC.

    Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels.

    In a dry bowl, toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil and
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Transfer to air fryer and fry for
    10 minutes, tossing halfway. Transfer the potatoes to
    the baking sheet, spreading them in an even layer, and
    let cool to room temperature, at least 30 minutes and up
    to 4 hours. (This step is optional; it gives the fries a
    slightly crispier exterior. If you want to skip it, keep
    the potatoes in the fryer and proceed to the next step.)

    Turn the air fryer heat up to 400ºF/205ºC.

    Arrange potatoes in the fryer if you’ve taken them out,
    and drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon oil. Cook for until
    golden and crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes, tossing or
    stirring halfway through. Transfer immediately to a
    serving platter and sprinkle with more salt.

    While the fries are cooking, make the sauce: In a small
    bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard and
    paprika. Serve alongside the fries for dipping.
