Homestyle Round Fries are a comforting and delicious twist on the classic French fry. I make them by slicing large baking potatoes into thick, round slices, but you can use any type of potato you prefer. You can use an air fryer, lightly spraying the slices with oil and adding salt, or fry them on the skillet for a crispy finish. These versatile fries are perfect for dipping in ketchup or your favorite sauce.

Homestyle Round Fries

I call these my homestyle round fries, or sometimes just home fries. It's honestly quicker and easier than frozen fries or tater tots and if you use an air fryer there is less clean up. This recipe is plenty for 2 people if you are using a large Russet potato. Serve with a little ketchup or eat them plain, they're good both ways. Enjoy!
