Notes
- Thicker fries may require more cooking time, while thinner fries may need slightly less. Check on the fries a couple of minutes early to avoid overcooking, and add more time if needed.
- To make more fries, cook several smaller batches. Once ready to serve, add all the fries back to the air fryer basket and cook at 390°F (200°C) for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Crisp up leftover air fryer French fries by placing them back into a preheated air fryer for about 3-5 minutes.
