The air fryer makes crispy, crunchy ‘County Fair’ curly fries every time, and it’s my new favorite way to cook them! The secret to golden brown curly fries with a light and fluffy interior is (1) submerging in water for 30 minutes and (2) the use of our curly fry batter. Perfect for last-minute snack attacks, the air fryer makes it easy to enjoy your favorite foods with less fat, prep time, and cleanup!
