Looking for a great Actifry french fries recipe? This is it!

I adore crispy, perfectly golden french fries. Unfortunately, traditionally made fries are loaded with salt, oil and plenty of calories.

These ActiFry french fries are low in oil, calories and salt, plus they taste perfectly delicious. They’re golden and crunchy on the inside, with flavorful, hot potato goodness on the inside.

The ingredients for this recipe are incredibly simple: Russet potatoes, vegetable oil, and salt. I love to serve them with a simple dip of ketchup.

Using the ActiFry

We have the ActiFry 4.4 qt version.

Since it’s a low oil fryer, the recipe only uses one scoop of oil (about 1 tablespoon!).

The ActiFry cooks by blowing heated air over the potatoes in the cooking basket.

For our family of four (which now includes one hungry teenager), we find that the ActiFry 4.4 quart version just doesn’t make quite enough for a main course. This recipe serves four as a side, but we find that for us, we need to make this recipe twice to have enough for an indulgent supper, even when we serve the fries up with a topping of canned veggie chili and cheese.

I think the smaller 4.4 qt ActiFry is a fantastic appliance for a couple or a single, health conscious person. It cooks quickly, and uses so much less fat than regular frying.

For a family like ours, I’d definitely get the larger 5.9 qt version.
