Notes

Preheating Matters: Preheating the air fryer helps achieve consistent and crispy results. Aim to preheat for a few minutes before adding the fries.
Single Layer Cooking: Arrange the frozen fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking, so it's best to cook them in batches if needed.
Shake or Flip: Halfway through the cooking time, shake or flip the fries to ensure they cook evenly on all sides and achieve uniform crispiness.
Season After Cooking: To avoid excess moisture during cooking, season the fries with salt or desired spices after they're done cooking and still hot.
Experiment with Settings: Adjust temperature and cooking time based on personal preferences for crispiness. Keep an eye on the fries as they cook to achieve the desired texture.
Check Package Instructions: Different brands and styles of frozen fries might have specific cooking recommendations, so refer to the package instructions for guidance.
