These air fryer fries are extra crisp thanks to a light coating of Wondra, sometimes called “instant flour.” A blend of very finely ground all-purpose wheat flour and malted barley flour, it’s used to make lump-free sauces and gravy, but it also creates a thin, crisp coating on air-fried ingredients. If you own an air fryer, it’s great to have this flour in your pantry. Look for it in the baking aisle. You can omit it in this recipe or substitute a sifted gluten-free flour blend if you want to go gluten-free.

RD Tip

Give this recipe a try if you want fries without all the grease and extra calories. It’s a healthy way to enjoy some potatoes.

Air Fryer Truffle Fries

Ingredients

  • 2 medium russet potatoes
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Wondra flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon truffle salt

Instructions

Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick (.64 cm) slices. Cut each potato slice lengthwise into thin fries. Put fries in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes. (This removes excess starch and keeps the fries from browning unevenly while cooking.)

Meanwhile, set an air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Drain potatoes, rinse thoroughly with cold water and drain again. Spin the potatoes in a salad spinner or pat dry with paper towels to absorb any remaining moisture. Put the fries in a large bowl, drizzle with the oil, toss to coat. Sprinkle with the flour and salt and toss gently to coat the fries.

Put the fries in the air fryer (do not overcrowd, you may need to cook the fries in two batches if you have a small capacity air fryer). Cook for 18–20 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking, until the fries are evenly crisp and golden brown. Serve immediately.
