Air Fryer Salt and Vinegar Fries for One
  1. 1

    Peel the potato and slice it lengthwise into 1/2-inch sticks. Rinse the potato sticks under cold running water for a few seconds. Move them to a large bowl. Pour in the vinegar and add just enough water to cover the potatoes. Soak for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the air fryer to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C).

  3. 3

    Drain the potatoes and pat them dry. Toss with the oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl, then place them in the air fryer basket.

  4. 4

    Air fry in the preheated air fryer until soft but not browned, about 16 minutes. Shake the basket and increase the temperature to 355 degrees F (180 degrees C). Air fry for 6 minutes, shake again, and check for doneness. Continue cooking until the outsides of the fries are crisp and browned, about 6 minutes more. Taste and adjust the salt before serving.
