💭 Tips
- Whether you are using a basket style air fryer or one with trays, be sure to lay the fries out in a single layer to ensure the hot air circulates around the french fries fries.
- Remember if cooking different types of fries, the cooking time will vary. Thicker fries will take longer to cook so you will want to add a few extra minutes.
- Shaking the basket or rotating the trays in the air fryer is important to do part way through cooking, just to be sure that all sides are getting browned evenly.
- There is no need to hit the air fryer basket with oil spray as the frozen fries are already coated with oil.
