Notes
- Always cook fries directly from the freezer. Do not thaw.
- Do not stack or overlap fries - airflow is key to crispiness.
- Most frozen fries already contain oil from processing. Additional oil is optional but can improve browning.
- Every air fryer cooks slightly differently. Start checking at the 8-minute mark.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat at 375°F for 2-3 minutes.
