Video: Air-Fried Duck Fat French Fries

Is the air fryer your new BFF yet? It might be after you try this recipe. On today’s episode of Prep School, Megan Mitchell shows us how it’s done and cooks up perfectly crisp and golden French fries flavored with rich duck fat. Here’s a tip: the recipe comes together in two batches, so keep the first tray warm in a low oven while you finish the rest.

Ingredients

5 medium Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed and peeled
