The typical crisp ... french fries. Just a pile of fries squeezed between two pieces of bread and sometimes doused in malt vinegar, it's a popular item at British fish-and-chips shops.

While undoubtedly you can make the best restaurant-style French fries by cooking frozen chips in an air fryer, you can also produce delicious chunky, chip-shop-style chips made entirely from scratch.

Fry fries until browned, crispy on the outside, and tender in the center, about 5 minutes. If baking, bake fries on sheet, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes.
