Tips

Cook at a high temperature. For the best results, air fry your fries at 400-degrees.
Cook in a single layer. The fries should be in a single layer in the air fryer basket. It’s ok if they overlap slightly, but they should have room for the hot air to circulate around them. So, cook in batches if you need to.
Toss halfway through. To ensure evenly cooked + crispy fries, be sure to shake the fries halfway through their cook time.
For extra crispy air fryer fries. If you’d like your fries even crispier, simply air fry them for 1-3 minutes longer.
