Notes

French fries will add extra calories depending on the type of fries that you use. The homemade air fryer fries are the healthiest option, as it is just potatoes, a smidgen of oil, salt, and pepper. Looking to trim down the amount of carbs in this recipe? Get rid of the rice and keep the french fries for a more authentic dish.
